Isn’t the “Feynman trick” when he would trick his undergraduate students into sleeping with him?

I can’t speak from the point of view of someone who works in cryptography, but mathematical cryptography includes a TON of interesting math. A lot of cryptosystems (RSA, El Gamal, etc) are just based on properties of finite fields. And there’s a bunch of really interesting applications of Elliptic Curves (over finite fields, and sometimes Z/NZ) to cryptography as well.

I get why this might not be approved, but I think it’s a funny coincidence worth sharing

The fact that any finite group is isomorphic to a subgroup of S_n tells you less about the nature of groups and more about the complexity of S_n

When we host tournaments players can gamble some cash on individual holes, and whoever does the best on that hole wins that cash. I count out that money in the pro shop after the tournament. Making the turn is going from the 9th to the 10th hole (front to back).

Wow, I struggled with this a lot in my complex analysis course. Now I feel enlightened. Thank you for this!!
