Pham Tiep, the Joshua Barlaz Distinguished Professor of Mathematics in the Rutgers School of Arts and Science's Department of Mathematics, has completed a proof of the 1955 Height Zero Conjecture posed by Richard Brauer, a leading German-American mathematician who died in 1977. Proof of the conjecture -- commonly viewed as one of the most outstanding challenges in a field of math known as the representation theory of finite groups -- was published in the September issue of the Annals of Mathematics.

What my wife wants for dinner?

"Do you have a preference for dinner or do you want me to handle it?" is like a magic question. It's so much less pressure than "what do you want for dinner" and potentially turns it into a one person decision. If they say no preference, I'll follow up with "I'm going to cook ____, does that sound alright?"

"No, we had that a few weeks ago."

Ive tried that.

Decoupling dinner can also be helpful. Sometimes my partner just wants to snack/graze instead of having a whole meal. We call that a "fend for yourself" dinner.

Yeah but they wont admit that they just want to snack!

Ive met one woman that knew what she wanted to eat and ever meal choice wasnt a struggle.
