@G.Bergeron the guy is the main player in three fields (dissipative equations, random matrices, analytic number theory), and a big guy in basically every other field
The problem can be encoded algebraically (Weyl algebra) and then solutions are found by studying representations of this algebra within some constraints from physics
You need to be somewhat stressed out of your mind. e.g. expecting A+ and not having been to most classes in the semester while starting to read the textbook the night before.
@G.Bergeron yes, mathematical physicists are usually very smart people. There aren't many American universities pumping out Mathematical physics phd's .
@BalarkaSen When I was working on my Masters, I got into a cycle where I was awake for 37 hours and asleep for 11. In other words, all-nighters on alternate nights. For months. I don't think any of my friends realised I was doing anything out of the ordinary.
@SirCumference I feel there are too many underlying concepts that you have to grok first before you can get to Lebesgue integration. Whereas Riemann integration is accessible to high school students.
