A brief CV

"I was reading an article about mathematics. Perfectly pure mathematics. My own knowledge of mathematics stops at 'twelve times twelve', but I enjoyed that article immensely. I didn't understand a word of it; but facts, or what a man believes to be facts, are always delightful." -Mark Twain.
