I like to watch these giants in mathematics. It motivates my daily work a lot.

At around 40:00 Meyer presents a useful discussion of the improvisational aspect of teaching. "there is creativity in making mistakes.” Which he extends to a speculation on how this will relate to preparation of on-line presentations, which is more like writing than live performance.

An Abel prize winner who reads Plato in Greek, as well as Kierkegaard, Dostoevsky and Solzhenitsyn. I can't balance my checkbook and am hung up on The Family Guy.

Wavelet is both useful in theoretical and computational analysis.

[@BatmanPooping]

Ok.
