Amateur Mathematician. Who has a degree in maths from Cambridge.
An undergrad degree; his PhD was in a different field. So yes I'd call that "amateur".
Saying that Theoretical Physics isn't math is a little disingenuous don't you think?

This is nothing extraordinary, there are many people having a math Bachelor or Master. Also a famous university name on your BA/MA tells nothing about your level. University get their ranking through research publications not through undergrad math test . So what really matters is whereas you choose to dedicate (a part of) your life to Math or not, there is no secret magical course at Cambridge that will enlight you, courses are pretty much the same in all big universities

#23I find it interesting that this problem has no real application and the resulting cover seems pretty ugly given how basic and fundamental the question seems.
> no real application Yes, welcome to math.
Math has lots of applications. Computer science is basically just applied discrete maths.
