In numerous stories by Joe Haldeman, the protagonist's education in mathematics is mentioned even if it's quite irrelevant to the plot.
Has he said why that is? Did he study mathematics himself, or regret that he didn't?

While Valorum's answer is most certainly correct, I can't stop thinking whether there was more to Vassily giv...
