I'd like to get into his Riemannian manifolds. (Nod to Tom Lehrer. ;) )

 

 

At the risk of spoiling a really good joke, I'd like to quote a couple of lines out of the Wikipaedia bio:

 

Lehrer earned his AB in mathematics (magna cum laude) from Harvard University in 1946.[9] He received his MA degree the next year, and was inducted into Phi Beta Kappa. He taught classes at MIT, Harvard, and Wellesley.

 

He remained in Harvard's doctoral program for several years, taking time out for his musical career and to work as a researcher at the Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory.

 

 

....

 

The American Mathematical Society database lists him as co-author of two papers:

 

  • R. E. Fagen and T. A. Lehrer, "Random walks with restraining barrier as applied to the biased binary counter," Journal of the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, vol. 6, pp. 1–14 (March 1958) MR 0094856
  • T. Austin, R. Fagen, T. Lehrer, and W. Penney, "The distribution of the number of locally maximal elements in a random sample," Annals of Mathematical Statistics, vol. 28, pp. 786–790 (1957) MR 0091251

 

....

 

In the early 1970s, he mostly retired from public performances to devote his time to teaching mathematics and music theatre at the University of California, Santa Cruz.

 

 

....

 

Just to dispell the notion that all mathematicians are humorless and dull :)
