How many of you are professional mathematicians / scientists, and how many of you just study math / science as a hobby? Is it lame to want to study high level mathematics even though my main job has nothing to do with it?
I promise you this board is mostly schizos LARPing, highschool students posting thinly veiled homework, and low IQ burnouts IQ posting.
Your desires are not lame unless you spend all your time obsessing over the "right" way to do things or what the "right" books are. Leave this place forever, open whatever books you have, and work problems. It's actually that simple.
>>16706962 (OP)I spent the day talking to ChatGPT about the constructive Reals and the computable Reals.
Am unemployeed data sciences burnout.
>>16706984when i visit some generals people are talking about high level things like "differential geometry" and "topology" (I have no idea what these things are) and they solve complicated problems and equations and honestly i think its all kinda cool and fascinating, are u sure people are mostly larpers?
Also, I will just go and try to solve problems. I tried reading Axler's LADR and couldn't solve any of the problems tho
>>16706988i hope u find a job soon, but isn't AI a big deal nowadays?
>>16706981cute kot btw, thank you
i feel bad that many of these chicks will be thrown into a meat grinder eventually
>>16706990Right, you don't have the maturity for something like that. I can't diagnose what book is best for you starting out because I don't know your background or interests, but beware /sci/ suggestions. They like to recommend books for olympiad kids and prodigies.
If you're out of practice or new to mathematics you need something softer. Go look up what books your local state school uses for introductory courses. It's okay to start at the bottom.
I am a programmer, more of an engineer than a scientist, but I study and apply recently published scientific research to build AI models. They technically count as scientific experiments and require the generation of unique IDs as such.
Maybe I will invent a novel model one day and get published, I have some ideas bouncing around in my head, but it is not my priority. For example, I think that recently published research that improves LLM efficiency on GPUs using megakernels could be successfully applied to GANs.
Realistically, I would reach out for collaboration with established researchers. I maintain an informal correspondence with academics but am definitely not a published scientist.
>>16706962 (OP)im an optometrist.
it isn't lame to do what you like unless you're a fag.
