Now, keep this up and I might just have to withdraw my vote: my Alma
Mata is the University of Waterloo, one of the few places in the
world where you can get a Bachelor of Math; they regularly win a lot
of comp sci. contests as well and I'd consider them one of the best in
mathematics! :-p
I knew it's going to arouse controversy... ;)
I ended up doing mostly theoretical algebra (ring / field theory,
etc.) since in my day things like asymmetric encryption were just
starting to take off. Lots of fun, and I still get to use some of it
in my work. Nice to have another mathematician on board, welcome
again.
Personally, I think that mathematician skills are used always even if
you do not cast mysterious symbols on the paper or proof theorems. It
more about way of thinking.
Thanks for calling me a mathematician, but I'm just student. It's a long
way for me before I can call mathematician myself...
