gollark: You vaguely remind me of my former maths teacher, who seemed really weirdly enthusiastic about (some) maths.
gollark: However, gnobody, universities are not able to instantly teach maths[citation needed] so that is not *that* relevant. Although I suppose you'll probably like learning it full-time from very good mathers™ more, you can do SOME mathy stuff now.
gollark: You can just learn more maths now. You don't have to go to universities just to learn maths.
gollark: Yes, I was thanking <@515035771359723520> but saying it probably wasn't right.
gollark: Thank you but probably not.
