Nothing in academia compares to the feeling of elation one gets from completing a mathematical proof.

>>	Anonymous Mon, Apr 4, 2011 13:18:02 No.2830190 I disagree. The general feeling of "holy fuck it works" applies to a broader class of projects. Successfully constructing a device to demonstrate a theoretical phenomenon, or to perform a particular experiment, produces comparable elation for me.

>>	Anonymous Mon, Apr 4, 2011 13:20:02 No.2830194 I don't get that feeling. I always think "Is it good enough? Do I need to go back and rewrite it?"

>>	Anonymous Mon, Apr 4, 2011 13:22:02 No.2830206 >>2830194 I concur.
