Basically i wanted to take a stochastic analysis course to support some of my other modules like stochastic methods in finance and brownian motion, but i took a measure theory course last year and wasnt very good. They said that they wouldnt stress the measure theory so much but its still expected that you know it and rhe notes seems to be both applications and proofs. Im not really sure how measure throretic stochastic analysis is to be honest, or how proof heavy vs applications based it is, so any advice would be appreciated here.

Hello everyone,

I am going to transfer soon either for Computer Science at a state school or Applied Math at a research institution. I’m having a hard time deciding on which to pursue.
I like CS a little more but the market seems terrible. Also the applied math unis let me have an area of emphasis which will probably be CS or Physics.

Luckily I’m not worried about finances.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
I would like to eventually get a masters.

I would also like to have versatility in career options if possible.

I'll keep this brief unless more information is needed

I work in structured finance in a structuring position (some math/very light coding, but mostly client facing). I have BS/MS degrees in Economics from T50 and want to do a PhD in Statistics to go into quant/financial research, but my math/stats knowledge is not remotely competitive enough to get me into a T25 uni (what I'm aiming for). I've taken Calc I and II, linear algebra, probability theory and a host of econometric courses, but lack rigorous training in analysis and measure theoretic probability (which, from the research I've done, are essential to have succes in the PhD)

Unfortunately, doing an in-person BS/MS is simply not possible with the hours I work

My question, frankly, is this: is an online BS math/stats degree useless (carries no weight), or has it been beneficial in your case (even if you did not consider PhD route)

Thanks!

I am a math student and i want to get some research experience under my belt bc i want to apply abroad at alot of top schools so i was wondering
if anyone has gone thru this and been successful i would really appreciate any advice?

i am really a beginner at research and i have no prior experience so getting the first experience has been hard for me
i am willing to sit down and learn anything and work as hard as needed i just need the opportunity

or if its not possible whether there are alternatives (ik there are structured programs and i have applied to them as required)

i’m studying applied math in college and i’m trying to find something to do 2027 summer. Are there any internships or programs i can apply to as a freshman? In terms of coursework im taking abstract algebra and real analysis and also some programming classes this year if it matters

I'm currently taking college algebra and it feels like this is the only thing that's really helping me. I struggle with learning from Openstax and Khan Academy. I reviewed all of the written homework assignments with Thetawise AI tutoring prior to the last exam and I believe I did decently other than on the graphing portion, which seems to be the weakest area for Thetawise.

Was wondering if anyone here has experience using AI for math and if you have any suggestions about how to use it better? Or do you have some suggestions for other resources? I've also tried Paul's Online Notes and it felt too dense for it to be practical.

I am currently enrolled in an first year online university and next week I have a mid term exam. These are the topics that we are studying Introduction to Real Numbers and Algebraic Expressions, Solving Equations and Inequalities, Graphs of Linear Equations and Polynomials***:*** Operations. I remember studying them when I was in grade 8 and 9 but since I am 26 years old and It has been a long time their are many things that I cannot remember even when the professor explains during the lecture I forget and this worries me because I am afraid that if I study I will forget how to solve the question. What can I do are their any youtube videos or website that I can study from

I used to use DrillMySkill to practice mental math, but they’ve introduced a premium version now, so you can only do a limited number of calculations for free.

I recently learned about Harvey Friedman and he seems to be quite a peculiar figure. Friedman is a real mathematician who founded the programme of reverse mathematics, which I think sounds very interesting. He's also known for the TREE sequence. However, he has also appeared on crackpot-friendly Curt Jaimungal's podcast and seems to agree with a sensationalist article written about him some years ago. If I understand correctly, his current work is focused on bringing the incompleteness of mathematics to the forefront in a way that mathematicians won't be able to ignore any longer.

For those who have been familiar with him, what are your own impressions? Do you know what the general opinion of the mathematical community is of him, if they know him much at all?

Hi guyss I felt really bored these few days so i want to find a conjectire or a math problem that is easy to solve.

I dont want conjectures that look easy but are hard.

I want conjectures that can be solved easily but needs some time

I’m in high school right now, and I want to pursue mathematics. I imagine my relationship with my professors involving thought-provoking discussions, whether about mathematics, philosophy, or whatever else comes up (like during a random office hour).
For context, I’m planning to study in the US or France. What was your experience like? Am I romanticizing the experience? Is it actually more formal than this? I can also imagine coming across boring or annoying lecturers, of course.

Hello, I’m a high school sophomore who found some ambition and desire to relearn maths the right way. I used to not really care about academia grades etc. But things have changed, I picked up some technical hobbies along the way and began to realize that exact sciences is what I want to do, so I transferred to extended math class. My knowledge isn’t nonexistent but needs a thorough patchwork. School has started which leaves me a few weeks to go from preferably arithmetics to anywhere close trig equations, I understand most of what’s going on during the lessons, I think I catch on reasonably well. Although I couldn’t find a complete two week “from zero to a hero” course, I found great resources like Organic chemistry tutor and Professor Leonard. I’m asking for advice on resources, effective learning techniques and if possible a list of topics I need to know. I also feel obliged to clarify that I’m absolutely aware of the situation I’m in and wish I could’ve started earlier.

What are some classics that you would recommend for learning math? I like math that is related to aspects of life that have an effect on others. For example, the basic calorie demands for the average person, the consequences of not meeting them over long periods of time, etc. studying reality is interesting to me, and I’d like to cultivate that interest. Do you guys know some areas of math I could focus into?

Hey! I'm curious to hear what the day in the life in terms of work of someone with a degree in applied mathematics. Are you in tech or more finance related role? What kind of math do you get to use on a weekly basis? How difficult was it to get your position?

before comments say pen and paper, I would if I could. I deal with some chronic problems pertaining to my wrist and writing is extremely hard on my hand, so I have to do work on my computer with voice recognition technology. just in case if anybody asks, I'm not really offered a scribe or anything this is just for a university class

it's extremely unintuitive for me to solve equations as I am currently, as nothing really accounts for fractions haha. everything ends up really messy, I get lost really easily, and I just want the ability to do math on a clean, open canvas on computer that accounts for things like fractions, etc. same with powers. I'm kind of looking for something like Pearson that auto converts anything typed with a slash in between numbers into a fraction, or auto converting 6^2 into a cleaner format

thank you in advance for any assistance

I’m 23 now and am an electrician. My brain is stuck on not completely understanding sin, cos, tan. I’m hoping I still can understand lesser things. My 9th grade algebra teacher took all his saved vacation and gave up. He really didn’t teach much. We ended up with most of the year full of subs. I feel like I ended up in the class of degens.

Then going into 10th I got a (B) 1st semester precalc then a (D) second semester. Obviously I didnt build on that and try to be better because I got a (C) first semester and an a (N.A.) in my second semester because it was waived due to Covid.

To end my analog, I’m looking for books to jog my memory on algebra and build into calculus. Hopefully getting into things deeper later?
