Andrew Wiles Thinking Quotations

There's also a sense of freedom. I was so obsessed by this problem that I was thinking about if all the time - when I woke up in the morning, when I went to sleep at night, and that went on for eight years.

I tried to fit it in with some previous broad conceptual understanding of some part of mathematics that would clarify the particular problem I was thinking about.

I would wake up with it first thing in the morning, I would be thinking about it all day and I would be thinking about it when I went to sleep.
