"But I didn’t take any math. My knowledge of math is at a very low level. I go up to calculus, and beyond that I don’t understand any of the papers that are being written. "

I am stunned by this.

Me too. I attempted the puzzlers in SA a few times and was convinced that the author was a mathematical genius.

I have some e-mails that Mr. Gardner sent to me, when he was doing some research on another person by the name of May (totally unrelated). Not quite the same as a letter with a signature, but I printed them out for posterity anyway.
