While busy ‘working’ I came across this article which contains some fairly depressing stats for a mathematics student.

Is Math a Young Man’s Game?

Not only do you have to make your brilliant discoveries before the age of 30 or 40 but it takes much longer to get to state of the art than it used to because of all these people making discoveries. I’d like to be more like Evariste Galois.

Anyway I should get back to work.
