About this episode
"rarefied heights of pure mathematics" [VALL]
As we know, James Moriarty was a professor of mathematics. We know little about his academic appointment, other than having to step down from a chair.
What we do know is he has two publications to his name. What are they, and what do they tell us about Moriarty's approach to a life of crime. They're just a Trifle.
