Today Yulius from Singapore shared with me some visual work on the laws-of-simplicity theme from his recent year one undergrad class. There's nothing like freshmen to make you smile -- I begin teaching my undergrad course at MIT next week and look forward to the experience of working with the most plastic of brains. At MIT the faculty are smarter than you, the students are smarter than you, and as we learned in the movie Good Will Hunting even the custodians are smarter than you. Being humble is a full time job here -- whether you like it or not.
