Maybe it's better not to understand maths, than to be a gifted 
mathematician with a bizarre job. I know a women, she's a classical 
singer and a mathematician and her job is calculating mathematical 
probability for a insurance company. Btw. it's just me who thinks that 
this is an odd job. She's very happy with it.

I would like to understand fractales, path integral etc. and even a lot 
of simple school stuff, but I guess it's better if I keep on making arts 
instead of trying to understand maths.
