Summa Cum Laude

Privet! As I left off in my previous post, I had just been accepted as a student to the renowned Mathematician Karl Weierstrass. I studied with him for four years. During those four years, my knowledge of mathematics flourished and grew. During those four years, I learned more than I had ever learned before. During those four years, I became qualified enough to be awarded a doctorate’s degree. However, it was well known that the prestigious University of Berlin would not award me what I had earned. So, as per the advisement of Weierstrass, I sent my three theses off to the University of Göttinger. My outstanding papers (one describing Saturn’s rings, one describing elliptic integrals, and one describing an original theorem in the general theory of partial differential equations) eventually convinced the professors at Göttinger to award me with my much awaited PhD in mathematics—summa cum-laude, the top of my class. Until next time, do svidaniya!
