I blogged about my some of my favorite quotes from these essays. palblog.fxpal.com/?p=536 | |
| Jun 6, 2010 at 22:57 | comment | added | Pietro | Connes has a piece on advice to young mathematicians. It was online for a while and eventually it appeared in the Princeton Companion to Mathematics. The bit about taking walks is to "train the live memory" (his words), forcing yourself to do math without pencil and paper. Fwiw I agree, and would add that the act of walking, and natural or city sounds, keeps one from falling asleep. :) | |
