This is the second half of an interview with Nick Gurski, a mathematician specializing in algebra, and specifically in category theory. We continue talking about n-categories and the homotopy hypothesis. We learn some of Dr. Gurski's path into math, including how he realized there was actually something fascinating to study in math while taking multivariable calculus as an undergraduate. We hear some of this unsolicited life advice on learning how to engage in critical self-reflection.

A fascinating introduction to a part of math many students do not know exists. See the accompanying "What are categories, functors, and natural transformations" - part of our "What are...?" video series at lifeandmath.com - for those who feel over their head listening to this.
