I heard you have a PhD in math. Can you tell me about infinite galois theory?

Yeah, sure. It's a theory that finds a necessary and sufficient condition for a polynomial to be solvable by radicals.

MAN, I said INFINITE galois theory.
I was reading about grisha perelman today, the hermit who proved poincare's conjecture, and feeling very excited.

My dad knew mostowski, which is pretty exciting. Also, I don't know much topology, but the bits I know I find very cute; I'll do more when I hit grad school (I'm a CS major though)

In my defense I'd like to make it clear I didn't get the article from slashdot. god damnit, they sully everything.

In my defense I'd like to make it clear I have no clue on maths.
