#51: Just Another Tuesday
Are you familiar with American mathematician George Dantzig? You should be! Apparently, George’s genuis was discovered one day completely by accident! He was late to class one day and copied two math problems from the board, thinking they were homework.
Little did he know this wasn’t homework, but two famous unsolved problems in statistical theory. Can you imagine solving two unsolvable math problems just like that? Back in high school, I could barely solve my math homework! Dantzig lived between 1936-2005; his story is definitely worth sharing.
