The study of economic theory is not defensible on aesthetic grounds. It hardly rivals in elegance the mathematics or physics our sophomores learn. The theory is studied only as an aid in solving real problems, and it is good only in the measure that it performs this function. - George Stigler |

Duke undergrad with triple majors in Math, Econ, CS? Sounds like Susan Athey
I see one blemish though - a paper in algebraic geometry only received Siemens semifinalist honors?! The paper must have been kind of crappy... or the Siemens judges couldn't understand it (OK, damn, then there is no blemish). |

I was just about to comment because I know you can't triple major at Duke, but alas, he has two majors: econ and an interdepartmental major in math and computational theory.
He seems to be kind of smart. |
