"Pure mathematicians just love to try unsolved problems - they love a challenge."
Love
"I had this rare privilege of being able to pursue in my adult life, what had been my childhood dream."
Life
"We've lost something that's been with us for so long, and something that drew a lot of us into mathematics. But perhaps that's always the way with math problems, and we just have to find new ones to capture our attention."
Attention
"I'm sure that some of them will be very hard and I'll have a sense of achievement again, but nothing will mean the same to me - there's no other problem in mathematics that could hold me the way that this one did."
Achievement
"There are proofs that date back to the Greeks that are still valid today."
Today
"I hope that seeing the excitement of solving this problem will make young mathematicians realize that there are lots and lots of other problems in mathematics which are going to be just as challenging in the future."
Hope
"But the best problem I ever found, I found in my local public library."
Public
"It's fine to work on any problem, so long as it generates interesting mathematics along the way - even if you don't solve it at the end of the day."
Work
