   What did Serge Lang do for a living?

   • Serge Lang was a man with incredible focus and self-discipline. Mathematics and politics (which he called “troublemaking”) were his primary inter-ests, and everything else was secondary. As he grew older, he felt that he had to conserve his en-ergy and he set other interests aside. He made hard decisions and stuck by them.
