Random thoughts Stray memories

B12 mentioned Fibonacci's number sequence to me today so I decided to do a search on its application to the stock market. When I was younger, I've only thought of math in the academic sense and hence, didn't like it much at all. It's only when I started reading about eccentric mathematicians and their passion for numbers that I started to appreciate math.

My best friend previously told me about the brilliant mathematician John Nash who turned schizophrenic at his peak, and took a long time to recover before he won the Nobel Prize in 1994. Incidentally I saw a book on his life in Borders and it's called A Beautiful Mind. I believe Russell Crowe is acting as him in the movie adaptation. Hmm.
