He said that at Brandeis he was allowed to study whatever he wanted, and history was one that had fewer requirements, meaning probably that he also took some math and physics. He also told the story how he was exposed to calculus at the age of 11 (his father being a physics professor), but unfortunately didn't see much beyond this wonderful subject.
