>>14028848Mathematician here. My specialty is in probability theory, stochastic processes, and the physics of randomness, although I also have strong interests in cryptography, topology, robotics, artificial intelligence, and game theory.
Academically, I wrote a few papers computing optimal strategies and expected waiting times of casino games and dice games, as well as two other papers detailing original cryptosystems. I wrote four books, and I’m currently in the process of writing a fifth: a treatise about the foundations of randomness.
In terms of tangible products, I wrote several computer viruses and a program for outputting the sequence of in-shuffles and out-shuffles required to move a card to and from arbitrary positions in a deck of cards. I helped various clients design an improved parking lot, a roller coaster, and a house.
I bill myself as a freelance mathematician and have several income streams: from tutoring in math classes, from tutoring for the SATs, from solving problems for private citizens, from book royalties, from chess tournaments, and from counting cards. I also managed to marry a blonde bombshell tradwhale, who can now afford to be a stay at home trophy wife. She just lays around, naps, snarfs food, and gets fatter, but jokes on you, I’m into that shit.
Point is, I took a lot of opportunities as they came by with my talents, and I’ve benefitted greatly so far. I haven’t pigeonholed myself, I worked my ass off for the right to call myself a mathematician, and as a result I can enjoy the remaining 50 to 60 years of life to pursue knowledge and leisure and further achievements. I’m currently typing this from my Florida beach house as my SSBBW blobwife snores away and naps off some midnight bacon tacos. I’m planning on writing another paper on nontransitive dice tomorrow after we hit the pool and I go for a bike ride. No grant board, no boomer bosses, just a good life and idle lifelong scholarship.
