      my guess is the comic is about Pontyragin’s maximum principle, a theorem in control theory. He was a blond Russian mathemematician and his mother helped him learn maths by reading books to him. He developed control theory for an application on optimizing rocket speeds or maybe logistic trains or something like that.

        Can you do what you just did, but for “control theory”. Pretty pretty please with a cherry on top?
