We asked Ken Ono:

"Mathematics is vast enough that one could easily spend a lifetime studying without making any new contributions.
How and when did you realize that you could become a creator of mathematical knowledge rather than just a consumer?"

In the 1940s, Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar was committed to his teaching role at the University of Chicago, despite being based at the Yerkes Observatory. Each week, he traveled 80 miles to teach a special course attended by only two students.

The students were Tsung-Dao Lee and Chen-Ning Yang. They proved their mentor's faith was well-placed when they both won the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1957, years before Chandrasekhar received the same honor in 1983. Remarkably, this course went down in history as the only one where every attendee received a Nobel Prize, underscoring the extraordinary impact of Chandrasekhar's dedication and teaching.

OR
- Apologies for the late response but the past decade has been hectic, still keen to chat?
