Hey Ed: Fellow Math Major Alumni here, thanks for doing this AMA, I have a few questions
1) How often do you catch yourself making trivial mathmatical references?
2) How often do you catch yourself breaking down the basic logic of ideas in proof in stupid situations?
3)Why has Terrance Tao made the accomplishments of hundreds of years look like a breeze?
4) For myself, what are good arguments to present when looking for jobs with our major. It is a little weird that Mathematics is a very broad subject, so "Advanced Math Skills" is a skill that employers look for, but its practically impossible to find a job that does just that but isn't a specific niche.
5)What proof do you consider a fantastic example of "Exceptionally Beautiful Mathematics", since its all beautiful.
