In fact, at least in my mind, the whole idea of a computer language being object-oriented seems to follow the structure a mathematician uses to organize his world: overloading operators, creating increasingly particular instances of more general classes, and such. <br /><br />It is wonderful to see you have found such a fulfilling career to satisfy your mathematical needs.

For example, I've done proofs with categories and functors (functional programing), analysed kernel functions (machine learning), and performed arithmetic over Galois polynomials (cryptography).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07814014630060261243noreply@blogger.com
