That’s how i’ve been solving maths my whole life. It’s like a language. And sometimes you gitta fill in the blanks

Cosine as an answer ?

This interview always struck me as odd, because as a student at Princeton, who’s getting Ollie pluses and his self proclaimed “pretty good at math“ any PDE that has a pure cosine solution is typically pretty straightforward to solve. It has to be a linear, constant coefficient (and typically homogeneous) PDE of the solution methods are pretty straightforward. The only way that I could see needing three pages of algebra for everything to cancel out and you’d pure cosine solution is having some initial data that picks out a specific eigen direction and then the rest canceling because of orthogonality? But anybody in a PDE class, especially at Princeton of all places should easily be able to see that since it’s one of the main topics that’s taught in in PDEs. but even then, yo Santa, his smartest fellow student didn’t identify the orthogonality and still did all algebra out explicitly? I can’t help but think that either Jeff is miss remembering or the situation is made up.

Capitalism makes great success. Take away those incentives and the genius we call America is toast.

What kind of answer is “Cosine” ? Is it cosine of something 🤔

You know what I got out of this? If you deal with a hard problem once you’ll be able to identify it again or quickly, and without having to go through all the details.

Yeah, he definitely was smart enough to be a theoretical physicist, if you're at Princeton studying anything math related, you are a genius. Basically he's saying there is one person potentially the top mathematical school in the world that was smarter than him

He is so rich that he could pay you $100k to agree with him that 1+1=3 .. he is just a salesman

Since when is the concept of "Cosine" Algebra??? It's Trigonometry.
And...I didn't go to Princeton. 🤣😂
