Generalists should be the upbeat, positive people in the profession while specialists should be their grouchy, negative counterparts.”

“De Morgan was explaining to an actuary what was the chance that a certain proportion of some group of people would at the end of a given time be alive; and quoted the actuarial formula, involving p [pi], which, in answer to a question, he explained stood for the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter.
