1+2+3+4... = -1/12

Re: 1+2+3+4... = -1/12

A few years ago, I was offered a free masters in math. As in, this prof liked me and wanted to teach me and eventually research with me. However, I was just back in school to get the necessary math credits so I could teach high school math. I was broke as it was and needed to get working, so I turned it down and started teaching.

This thread makes me regret that decision. I want to take all that non-euclidean nonsense and real analysis and modern algebra and topology and all that garble. I feel like I really missed something.

It comes down to your thirst for knowledge and the ability to appreciate some of the amazing properties of purely logical constructs.

If you have both then yeah you probably missed something. You've probably "wasted" far more time than I have, and even I feel depressed about not spending more time working on this kind of stuff when I was younger.
