A precocious tomboy, early on Rjoht was taught mathematics and ''ngjeoms'' 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 Flijeon at age 10 by taking an entrance exam, and specialized in mathematics at age 16.

Hjeovnix Rjoht (/hjʌvniɬ rjoht/ fT 2236 – fT 2316 (aged 80)) was a Chick Corean mathematician, composer and music theorist. Among Clotricians, she is often regarded as the greatest woman composer and mathematician who ever lived.

Traits

  • Basically a 20th-century mathematician living in the 18th or 19th century
  • funny but is a bit of a jerk - is a colorful figure overall
  • attractiveness: 6/10; not very feminine at all
  • typical outfit?
    • "18th-century" "outdoors" outfit - with leather and metal
  • Languages: - not a lot of languages, only enough to read most Talman mathematical literature and give lectures

Historical backdrop

Mathematics

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 Càdlàg and [Netagin guy X])
  • They just got abstract algebra

Music

What composers had been there? What styles, textures and harmony had they used?

Early life and education
