Reigning
King of
Math Games
Barry Leung
There is only one.
There are thousands of mathematics PhDs.
Founders who studied at MIT. MEng graduates from Imperial. BScs, BAs, Cantabs, Oxons.
Ivy League alumni running companies and managing billion-dollar portfolios.
There is one King of Math Games.
You are reading him.
His audience includes
And yet there is only
One King.
The decree
The credential depreciates.
The audience compounds.
On the nature of authority
The Tripos does not ask: can you make someone feel that mathematics is worth their time?
No supervision at Trinity will teach it.
No examination will reward it.
It was built Sunday by Sunday, problem by problem, until it was simply true.
The Cantabs are in the audience.
The Oxons are in the comments.
There is one King of Math Games.
His name is Barry Leung.
