“Mathematics, to me is a passion and beauty of logic. I think that mathematicians learn to think differently and logic plays a crucial role even in our everyday life.”
When I was a PhD student struggling with some proofs in my PhD thesis, I read the quote by the famous French physicist Marie Curie: “Life is not easy for any of us. But what of that? We must have perseverance and above all confidence in ourselves. We must believe that we are gifted for something, and that this thing, at whatever cost, must be attained.” When I am stuck, I often go back to this quote to gain strength and move forward.
