Alex Kontorovich(@AlexKontorovich):I keep hearing people saying “math is solved”. I claim the opposite: people with a high level of technical skill are even *more* productive, and hence valuable, with new tools. Now is the time to double and triple down on the numbers of math majors and PhD students!
