At the age of 12, I developed an intense interest in mathematics. On exposure to algebra, I was fascinated by simultaneous equations and read ahead of the class to the end of the book.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I enjoyed mathematics from a very young age. At the beginning of college, I had this illusion, which was kind of silly in retrospect, that if I just understood math and physics and philosophy, I could figure out everything else from first principles.
From the age of 13, I was attracted to physics and mathematics. My interest in these subjects derived mostly from popular science books that I read avidly.
I was a mathematics major and really into math.
My favourite subjects at school were algebra and logic: making a big problem into something small.
I loved math. I was such a nerd! I really enjoyed working through problems and finding the solution.
Both my parents instilled an interest in science and mathematics.
I did grow up with a really big interest in math and science; I liked it.
I love algebra. Love it.
I remember that already as a child I was often intensely interested in things, obsessed by ideas and projects in many areas, and in these topics I learned much on my own, reading books.
I have always loved astronomy, and being an astronomer once lurked in the back of my mind. But I was never good at algebra. In fact, I flunked it twice in high school.
