Plus, I was a math and science whiz from my first introduction to the subjects.
此外，从我第一次接触这些学科开始，我就是一个数学和科学奇才。
Pure mathematicians just love to try unsolved problems - they love a challenge.
纯粹的数学家只是喜欢尝试未解决的问题——他们喜欢挑战。
The greatest problem for mathematicians now is probably the Riemann Hypothesis.
对于数学家来说，最大的问题可能是黎曼假设。

KEEP EXPLORING
沿着这个主题，再读几句。
