Although I was fond of the classics, especially Greek with its wonderful literature, I was fascinated by mathematics immediately after my first lesson at the age of eleven, and I decided there and then to make mathematics my career.
Kahit na ako ay mahilig sa Classics, lalo na Griyego sa kanyang kahanga-hanga literatura, ako ay nabighani sa pamamagitan ng matematika kaagad matapos na ang aking unang aral sa edad na labing-isa, at ako doon at pagkatapos ay nagpasya na gumawa ng matematika ang aking karera.
