Happy Birthday. Sounds like an interesting person.

He is. In everyday, he is like a common person.
About math, he is unique. He said me, "you could be a good mathematician". I answered, "I am ok with that I used to be a soldier..." --- and I am too old to begin any new life ---
One frequently encounters the sentiment that in mathematics all that is needed is "naked ability," because the lack of it there cannot be hidden; while in other disciplines connections, favoritism, fashion, and -- most of all -- the absence of that indisputability of proof which is supposed to characterize mathematics, cause a career to be the resultant vector of talents and conditions that are nonscientific.
