- Syzygies 3y agoI needed a sample LaTeX vita file in the early 1980's. I had logins on various math department servers, so I searched from root on each machine, and decided to base my vita on David Mumford's vita source file.

Various people were nevertheless horrified when they learned that this search was even possible.
