OT, Math related: Commemorating Serre’s 95th Birthday

[LionJim]

Everyone knows the great names of 20th century physics, Einstein, Pauli, Heisenberg, Dirac, Feynman, Hawking. You guys know I’m not going to pass up the opportunity to mention that today is the 95th birthday of the 20th century’s greatest mathematician, Jean-Pierre Serre. He’s the youngest Fields Medal winner (27), the first Fields Medalist who specialized in Algebra (my own field). He’s also one of the great stylists in mathematical writing, up there with John Minor and Curt McMullen. He’s done a ton of wonderfully original stuff, but in particular it was he, with Gerhard Frey and Ken Ribet, who gameplanned Andrew Wiles’ proof of Fermat’s Last Theorem by way of the Taniyama-Shimura conjecture.

Anyway, thanks for indulging me and my enthusiasms.

Is he 95 or in his 96th year?

With all due respect, you're the greatest mathematician of the 20th century, bringing math to the huddled masses of the bwi board.

Is he the one that figured out x=3? Freaking bastich messed up my life. I thought that’s all I needed to remember. Then I go and average 8% on all my 7th grades algebra exams because my teacher seemed to think x could be other numbers as well.

I have no idea what you are saying, but I’ll assume it’s impressive.

Ahhh, yes.....the Taniyama-Shimura conjecture. A beautiful construct! 🤷🏽🤷🏼‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️😳🧐🤓

We call it the TSC at our house 😂

Not to be confused with TCF the PSU Cornerback.

That was his intent.

Where is Urschel when we need him?

Utilizing the word "gameplanned" within the context of describing the detailed accomplishments of Mr. Serre in the field of mathematics demonstrates excellent understanding of your BWI McAndrew audience!

A movie connoisseur may even say "You had us at "gameplanned"".
