she was actually busted for stealing a copy of Newton’s Principia Mathematica from a nearby college library.

I thought it was a text book on string theory and quantum mechanics.

That was for her Advanced Astrophysics course. The Principia was for an extra-credit project. She was working on solving Fermat’s Last Theorem and she wanted to double-check her partial differentials.
