If math is more than proof, we need to better celebrate the rest of it

    It's too late for this. Much of my work in math has been classified as trivial or best described as not math at all. When I was working on chatbots and described deep learning algorithms to enhance them, it was deemed as a pseudoscience. Mathematicians sound very disingenuous with their backtracking.

    I'm afraid that much of mathematicians work is too trivial to be taken seriously and they should just find something completely different to do.
