Roger Heath-Brown: a Life in Mathematics

Roger Heath-Brown is one of Oxford's foremost mathematicians. His work in analytic number theory has been critical to the advances in the subject over the past thirty years and garnered Roger many prizes.
As he approached retirement, Roger gave this interview to Ben Green, Waynflete Professor of Mathematics in Oxford and himself a leading figure in the field of number theory. In the interview Roger reflects on his influences, his achievements and the pleasures that mathematics has given him.

love the stories!

It is really nice to see Harman's book in the background, also as far as I can see Karatsuba's book.

Ordered. Thank you for the book recommendation.

He's got the best taste out there. Analytic number theory. Hands down the best area of mathematics.

Unfortunately there are very little percentage of people who work on ANT

It's highly subjective mate, for some people like me it's Algebraic Geometry and Category Theory.

[@sarthakgupta1165]

What about Algebraic Number Theory?

How to be a mathematician sir, plz say

[@Gk54493]

Major in mathematics in university, most mathematicians have a master’s degree so its great to get your master’s in math and to make it even better, get your PhD in math
