Will memorizing poetry help me become better at maths?
Apparently Euler had memorized the entire Aeneid.

>>	Anonymous Mon Mar 9 12:43:45 2020 No.11454480 >>11454084 No, but the type of people autistic enough to do that correlate with people who could do math well. The best mathematician I have met in terms of raw talent also memorizes his favorite plays by heart and journals all the time.

>>	Anonymous Mon Mar 9 14:40:42 2020 No.11454720 >>11454084 I heard Euler liked to stick a finger up his bum and smell it in order to induce hallucinations that gave him special insight into higher math universe. You should do it as well
