@Meaningness Interesting! I understood about half of it. Also http://ask.fm/St_Rev/answer/111106268670 …
@Meaningness Chunk key concepts into a directed graph, X -> Y means X is necessary background to Y, compute mean depth or something

@St_Rev Yeah, but the granularity is arbitrary and will determine depth. -
@Meaningness Like, what's the minimum number of graduate-level seminars an average student would require to get up to speed. -
@St_Rev There are few serious historians under 50; few serious mathematicians over 40. Not sure math will win that way. -
@Meaningness I dunno much about history. The thing about mathematicians isn't true though. -
@Meaningness I dunno, I could be totally wrong, but most mathematicians I can think of were steadily productive all their lives. -
@St_Rev I haven’t tried to learn any new math since 1995, partly on theory that I couldn’t. Maybe I should give it a go sometime. -
@Meaningness Which definitely describes my experience. - 2 more replies
