[edit] Mathematical Background
Joel Wolowelsky has mastered nearly all mathematical curricula not including probability. He admitted this to a group of students years ago, however, he now denies it. He has recently disclosed that he reads "Probability for Dummies" and is proficient in most areas of the subject. This has led to his promotion to chairman of the probability department.
