    Not to take away from her academic achievements at all, but: Plenty of people graduate Harvard every year and receive Master degrees.

    But we don’t measure who did it best out of all people on earth.

    Well, Harvard might, idc. Either way, it’s also more fun to watch a bunch of people running fast than to watch them be really good in science.

    IIRC, your spoilery “so” is the other way round. The right side is the definition, and the left-hand side a layman’s shorthand, as the root operator isn’t defined on negative numbers.

    I might very well be wrong. My being a mathematician has been over for a while now, my being a pedantic PITA not though.
