PeteMuad you raised not only a very important question but also a fairly enigmatic one. I completed my Maters in Mathematics 13 years ago and left mathematics then and there, what I realized during these years was that I could not sleep without thinking something new to discover or invent in pure mathematics. The numbers kept on haunting me. I was fascinated by Relativistic Mathematics as well had a great passion for Number Theory.I tried to find a suitable topic to do some original research work but left that to enter a totally different field. I opened a restaurant named e=mc^2. But still couldn't sleep well. So after running a successful talk-of-the-town restaurant for almost 4 years, I decided to turn to Computer Graphics, another of my passions as I was very involved in fine arts and poetry as well. Having graduated from Vancouver Film School, I am now a Computer Graphics Technical Director at a Visual Effects Studio, where I deal with mathematics in a more intimate way on a day to day basis. The point of all this autobiographical ramblings of mine is this : If you have the right motivation, and if you are curious enough, you have something to discover. My nights are still sleepless as I am yet to find something to discover !!!. So I think mathematics is inside you waiting for it to be discovered, just be passionate enough !!
