NFL linebacker loves himself some math.



Baltimore Ravens offensive lineman John Urschel loves math. Loooooves math. When he isn't bashing in the brains of a fellow football player, he's jotting down math computations, because I can only assume he's a masochist.

Urschel loves math though. So much so that he not only earned an undergraduate degree in the field, he then earned a master's degree in mathematics as well (while also bashing people's heads in while playing football). To top it off, he recently published a paper called "A Cascadic Multigrid Algorithm for Computing the Fiedler Vector of Graph Laplacians"--half of which are real words in the English language and mean something, I swear--in the Journal of Computational Mathematics.

This is the sort of stuff he posts on his Twitter feed:


Ohhhh, sure, that spectral bisection stuff with the spectral graphs! Right in my wheelhouse!

And Tom Brady posts photos of relaxing on a beach with his Brazilian supermodel wife.

You take what you can get.
