This is something that interests me and when I read the little book today I
hope to learn more. Baron-Cohen is an expert on autism which he views as the
extreme male mind.
And I should have said that Grace Wahba was the hottest mathematician on the
planet twenty years ago and everybody went to her lectures although, being
out of date and touch, I cant remember much about them now.
And I had a typo: Octavio for Octavian. Wouldnt all the women here like to
