TWIL #82 - Maths Genius
Every week, I share something I learned in the previous seven days. I usually find these while I'm putting my weekly newsletter together but somehow, they don't quite fit!
This week I learned that a 17 year old recently solved a major mystery that has confounded mathematicians for 40 years.
