Why Are Famous Mathematicians Not The Richest Gamblers? Tyler Ashcroft Picture the scene: Galileo, a true polymath and titan of science, sits in Monte Carlo, that most glamorous of gambling venues. But today, he isn't contemplating the spinning of the planets. Instead, his gaze is concentrated on a smaller spinning object: a roulette wheel.Ok, it's an unlikely scenario, but there's a real question here. Let's put it another way: if gaming is all about probability, why aren't all mathematicians insanely wealthy? There are plenty of theories as to why expertize in math doesn't necessarily make for gambling riches, but here are three possibilities: firstly, we might – just might – win big at the casino, but we can't escape our psychology. Secondly, it takes money to make money. And sometimes – just sometimes – there are more important things than cash.Read the whole article here: https://casinovalley.ca/facts/why-famous-mathematicians-not-the-richest-gamblers/ Discworld 17 - Interesting Times Interesting Times Mighty battles!

His teachings were filled with understanding, compassion, and encouragement. He spent most of his life as rector of Trinity Church, Boston, and served briefly as Episcopal bishop of Massachusetts at the end of it (1891 - 1893). His life was a course of gaining an increasing name as preacher and patriot. In addition to his moral stature, he was a man of great physical bearing as well, standing six feet four inches tall. During the American Civil War he upheld the cause of the North and opposed slavery, and his sermon on the death of Abraham Lincoln was an eloquent expression of the character of both men.
