O autoru
Ben Elias hails from sunny Massachusetts and is well known for his wit and ability to do diagrammatic calculations like no other. He’s also been known to solve a crossword at the same time as playing a Bach prelude. He is currently a professor at the University of Oregon.
Shotaro Makisumi (known to his friends as “Macky”) is originally from Ube, Japan. He studied at Stanford and is currently at Columbia. Despite his successes proving theorems, he is still best known for his extraordinary skills with the Rubik’s Cube.
Ulrich Thiel studied in Kaiserslautern, Germany, and after a brief voyage around the globe, recently returned there to take up a professorship. Let’s be honest: he’s the brains behind the operation.
Geordie Williamson grew up with the wombats and kangaroos in rural Australia. He completed his PhD under Soergel’s supervision, and after stints in Oxford and Bonn, returned to his furry friends in 2017.
All four authors delight in challenging each other to bouts of sumo, before retiring to a traditional meal of chanko nabe.
