How much of math have they axiomatized - Set theory or an equivalent axiomatization.
 
Do they have category theory? - No, but they are close to having it.
 
What algebra/number theory/geometry stuff do they know?
 
*Algebra and geometry (pre-university)
*Physics
*Calculus; real and complex analysis (thanks to [[Verse:Aodhàn Càdlàg|Càdlàg]] and [Nail Polish guy X])
*They just got abstract algebra

==Early life and education==
Sgutsitn was born in the city of [...] in Fyxám to a well-off family of Adetsib descent as the second of four children. Before they moved to Fyxám, her father, ____  ___, was chair of mathematics in the University of Flian who composed in his spare time. Her mother, ___ ___, was a classical ''ŋams'' player and music teacher. Her mother's brother, ___ ___, was a ''sewøðr'' player.
Þwhgad was born in the city of 'Onápaam in Sowaárp''í...
 
A precocious tomboy, early on Rewhd was taught mathematics and ''davr'' by her parents.  She started auditing music and math classes before she was 5. She was to a large extent self-taught in the boarding school math and music curriculum, seeking out math and music books to read in libraries, music to listen to, and instruments to learn to play. She was allowed to skip boarding school and to enroll in the University of ___ at age 10 by taking an entrance exam, and specialized in mathematics at age 16.
 
Around graduation, Sguðitn began to study with composers such as Cosca Síomha and to develop a musical language characterized by showy, adventurous harmony. She was also skilled in counterpoint, which was already evident in her first "string quartet" (= piece for three ''ngjeoms'' and one ''ngjeomsam'', typically structured in several movements) which she finished at 16. In fT 2252 she attempted to win the prestigious composition prize ''[prize]'', but failed<!--; her entry was deemed "too abstract for one to judge her capability of expression"-->. 4 On her second attempt in fT 2255 (at age 19) she won the prize with her ''[some cantata or mini-opera]'', marking the first time ''[prize]'' was won by a woman.
 
After winning ''[prize]'' Sgutsitn returned to the University of ___ as a doctoral student in mathematics, and was awarded a doctorate for her dissertation ''[something about algebraic curves?]'' (fT 2261) under the supervision of Zatseor Lik. Shortly thereafter, Sgutsitn accepted habilitation in the mathematics department of the University of ___.


==Later life==
Around graduation, Þwhgad began to study with composers. In fT 2255 he participated in the regional composition competition ''Farca Cøøve'' and won first prize.
<!-- In fT 2285 (aged 48) Sguðitn moved to Clofabolocin (by horse and buggy) and became a professor in Semaxan University (''semaxanol savtuprazan''). -->In fT 2300 (aged 63), she retired from her academic career and secluded herself, intending to focus solely on composition. She lived in a house in Sŋooron until she died of a stroke in fT 2316 (aged 80).


==Compositions==
==Current life and work==
Sgutsitn’s compositions, many of them commissioned, number about 100 works in total. Many of her works are chamber music and songs. <!--Her style is often described as “constrained composition” by critics, as she often tried to optimize for both economy/efficiency and expressiveness-->.  
Þwhgad is currently a freelance composer. His main interest is imagining music in fictional cultures. Among the general public he is fairly well-known for his film and video game scores. Þwhgad's most iconic works include his (the sci-fi musical drama).


Sgutsitn could only compose at a limited pace during her academic career. Much of her œuvre comes from after she retired and was only published after her death.
Þwhgad runs a blog on music and composition.


(Many of her “high-level” tempo markings and staff directions are in her native Eevo – while “low-level” ones such as dynamics markings remain in Windermere.)

Sgutsitn's works often use regular temperaments. She also authored a classic textbook on regular temperaments, though she herself did not invent the notion.
