I had changed from being a mathematician to a practicing scientist. I was increasingly embarassed that I could no longer follow some of the more modern branches of pure mathematics.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I stayed away from mathematics not so much because I knew it would be hard work as because of the amount of time I knew it would take, hours spent in a field where I was not a natural.
I was a mathematics major and really into math.
I changed the course of my life, from the rigidity of mathematics and the corporate rhythm to a more bohemian world.
Early in my career, I wanted to be a mathematician.
My interests started about in science and in mathematics; I always thought I was going to be a mathematician.
I was never strong at maths, but I eventually got onto a university physics/astronomy course, and that led on to my Ph.D. and eventual employment.
I wasn't that good at science, and I gave up on math long before I should have. I like to think if I were in school today that would be different.
I wanted to be a scientist. But I had no math skills.
Plus, I was a math and science whiz from my first introduction to the subjects.
I was really quite geeky at school. At one point, I wanted to be prime minister or a mathematician.
