Background

The 20th century was host to the seeming demise of polymaths in the face of the need for specialization due to explosive growth, in the sciences and otherwise. Recent years, however, have seem a surge in interdisciplinary enrichment, from students taking multiple majors to astrophysicists working for hedge funds and pure mathematicians modeling the brain.
