I attended a Clay Public Lecture yesterday at Harvard and gosh I am smitten. I had a small-child-watching-a-circus-for-the-first-time look. Euler is awesome, the greatest mathematician ever alive; beautiful works of mind indeed.
I wish I can write more now, but I have to do my homework. I'll try my best to write more later.
Sometimes I regret that I didn't read a lot of Math stuffs when I was young. My friends who are from developed countries have easy access to those books, papers, publications, journals... and they've known many Mathematicians' works since they are 15? Yesterday I saw a 10 year old boy attending the talk and bringing two books to be signed by the speaker -- he clearly has read the book (some scribbles etc). When I was 10 (and even when I was 17) I still wanted to be an artist and NEVER an engineer/scientist ;). So now... I have tonnes to catch up... I don't want to leave school at all =).
All Hail Euler!!
