Alberto PadoanHOST
So I guess we could start from there, right? Because that's also where it all started, as your journey in control, I mean.

Peter CainesGUEST
I would in some sense start a bit earlier that when I was a mathematics student at Oxford, that my, uh, tutors there were Alan Taylor in applied mathematics, John Crossley for pure mathematics, who was a logician, and Graham Siegel, who's a topologist, a renowned topologist.

Peter CainesGUEST
And they were all relatively young at that time, and, um, so that was a very positive start.

Peter CainesGUEST
Uh, and of course, high school teachers who are marvelous and, um, but that, uh, uh...

Peter CainesGUEST
So if you're going to actually go to roots, something which I'd like to underline is that I came from a, a working class background.
