I enjoyed maths at school and I was good at it too but I dropped General Science as soon as I could in fact I took no sciences and no languages once I got to pick my own subjects. I don’t think kids have that choice anymore. I’m happy there are people out there who give a toss about things like Riemann zeta function but I’m not one of them. Given half a chance at school I would’ve probably taken English, English, English, English, English and, oh, some more English although I quite liked Music too. Can’t say I’ve made much use of anything else I learned at school.<br /><br>Jim Murdochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12786388638146471193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6327348657265652781.post-91332675856088014932013-05-06T12:37:35.622+01:002013-05-06T12:37:35.622+01:00Much enjoyed this review, Jim.

Which is to say that as I write I am gathering a thought that "the nontrivial zeros of the Riemann zeta function" are among the last plot devices untouched by man, and the proof of their real part 1/2 would render them as tropes!

My wife chided me for suggesting people tear pages out of a book by the way.<br /><br>Jim Murdochhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12786388638146471193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6327348657265652781.post-7686215201112326352013-05-05T21:00:45.100+01:002013-05-05T21:00:45.100+01:00Great review Jim.
