I was very slow in maths, geometry I actually enjoyed.

I've always been passionate about geometry and the study of three-dimensional forms.

Plane geometry is sort of the key course where you learn about proving things and abstraction.

Mathematics was hard, dull work. Geography pleased me more. For dancing I was quite enthusiastic.

Geometry is moribund. I want a lilt and joy to art.

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.

When I was in the fourth grade, I became intensely interested in geography and I learned it well.

Math and science were my favorite subjects besides theater.
