The Importance of Belief

In the world of math, mathematicians are usually employed like a pure mathematician. And you sort of have ideas, you talk things out and you're like, Hey, what if we try this? And then someone else gets you another inch closer to the solution. Then somewhere down the line, someone proves the new big theorem. This is really wild. I mean, it's amazing. You learn about one new area of math and you'relike, huh, I'd like to read a page on that. And then you find like a 900 page textbook. It's amazing.
