Is it worth transferring to UNSW just to meet the man, the myth and the legend?

yes, become his acolyte, op

Yes, and when you publish your thesis on rational approximations to Sqrt[2] with decimal expansions consisting of less than 10^21 digits, you will land some really prestigious professor gigs the like of Harvard, Yale etc

I would.

When I graduate I will unironically apply to go gradschool there. If I get accepted to somewhere better then I won't go but if I don't then... time for my PhD thesis in rational analysis.

Anyone actually been there? Anyone met the absolute madman?

at least there wouldn't be any more Auspergers shitposting here

>death of Norman J Wildberger
there is no death of Norman J Wildberger, only a reclaiming of his spirit by the cosmos, only to reincarnate when the universe is finally ready for him

Remember it happens every 100 years or so. His last incarnation was Gauss.

You guys know he is not real right?

Bodhisattva Norman J Wildberger

w-what?

Is Norman J Wildberger to Veeky Forums what Terry A Davis is to /g/?

...

Norman Jesus Wildberger is to Veeky Forums what Jesus is to christians.

He came down to earth to die for our sins of infinity. But he left us the bible (in form of youtube videos) so that we may learn from it and then rebuild our faith in mathematics using his teachings.

He's realer than the real numbers.

>those shoulders

What's his routine, lads?

This is r/Veeky Forums worthy material. Good job.

Don't forget to film his reaction. Godspeed OP.

You're from Australia, can you tell me what to expect at uni of Sydney? Pajeet here

Is he our guy?

He's not our guy. We are his board.
