I am terrible at math but this is just cope I know I can learn it if I apply myself. Can AI give me a study plan or something?
>>84163508God I wish you fucking little kids would stop using this board.
>>84163517I want to learn math because learning is the highest purpose in life and I need to earn a math degree so I am not like a humanities roastie.
>>84163508Just use khan academy nigga. Start from grade school math and work your way up. That's what I did when I got my... GED.
>>84163508i mean yeah a.i could give you a structured plan but how do you know what you will be taught in class? figure that out first and if you're going to max out your stats start understanding it way ahead of time.
>>84163508question 1, why are you trying to get a math degree if you dont even know what math to study?question 2, what do you plan to use a bachelors in math on? as far as im aware thats pretty useless unless you get a phd in math. and even then not sure how you get a job from that.i guess just start from the basic. do you algebra, pre calc, then cacl 1, and then calc 2 which is the gayest shit on earth.
>>84163508Don't get a degree in math. It's absolutely useless for jobs outside of teaching math. If you absolutely love numbers then get into accounting or economics or something actually useful.
>>84163579Give us a structured plan anyways. I love autistic expertise. Calculus, differential equations and up. Come on now. We expect much from you.
>>84163508you can unironically finish everything you need in maths before starting your degree in like 3 weeks max tell gpt to give you a list of chs and topics that are essential for this then just watch some vid on that ch like 1 hr max and then just ask gpt to give you a book and do all the solved examples from it
>>84163607Not him but actual based mathematical plan>Dependent type theory>Category theory>Topology
>>84163607>>84163508I appreciate the spirit so I'll give you a serious answer as a PhD student. You should really focus on learning how to learn and less about any specific topic. Math and math degrees are sufficiently broad that it doesn't really help that much to learn some specific kind of math, unless you know in advance that it is what is taught.
>>84163692What's the point of studying math now that LLMs exist? I can understand why one would learn it just out of fun, but why would anyone study it to the point of becoming a phd student?By the way, have you ever done a IQ test irl? What's your IQ?
>>84163738What's the point of doing anything. I just like learning, knowing and being able to do things myself, I don't understand your mentality.
>>84163744>What's the point of doing anythingIdk, I do nothing besides posting on 4chan, watching anime and jerking off>I don't understand your mentality.I'm asking you how you're going to make money with what you learned.

>>84163605I want to become an international teacher and stem subjects are the most in demand teacher positions. I will probably double major in history or English to make my application more competitive.
>>84163738LLMs struggle immensely on real research problems, but it didn't really affect why I chose to do one. A PhD is really just for fun. You get paid less and do more stuff, but you do more interesting stuff with interesting people.I never got it tested professionally. But I think IQ is a bad metric. There are concrete traits which help you learn, but most of these are learnable. And a big part of a PhD is learning all these.>>84163887I think English would be by far the easiest. Non university teaching systems are highly localized, je every country has its own set of teaching standards, training and regulations.
>>84163738Also nice hayate girl I liked that anime as a kid
>>84163744I think that's a very nice mindset to have. But I'll also add that you aren't just capable of learning but constructing new things. In this case, mathematical objects, problems or theories. Unfortunately traditional education doesn't really emphasise that.
>>84163937>LLMs struggle immensely on real research problemsWhat would be a real research problem and how would it be different from normal math problems that LLMs are good at solving?>A PhD is really just for funOh, I see>But I think IQ is a bad metricIt kinda shows how good your ability to identify patterns is, I think it's one of the most important things to math. In my experience, the second most important thing would be attention and memory, which is the main reason why I'm bad at math since I always forget at what number I was in the middle of a mental calculation>t. midwit who met a math genius in HS >>84163945Based, it's quite rare to see Hayate no Gotoku fans outside of /a/
>>84163937Teaching licenses transfer internationally so as long as I am qualified to teach a subject for the purposes of secondary schools I am good. Which is why I want to be able to teach multiple subjects so it is easier for me to get a job.
>>84164108A real math problem would be something like, finding a better bound for some conjecture. One famous result that came out recently was the AGM bound, which was about the number of subgraphs a graph could have. >Why are LLMs bad at itIt's hard to say why precisely, one possible answer is LLMs really work on things it has seen before. So if you give it a new problem where existing techniques don't solve it, it works very poorly It is, but I think the big difference is an IQ test is sort of a static and specific pattern. But your real work is to learn and evolve patterns. So it also doesn't really let you develop understanding of a pattern, which is what mathematicians will say is the big thing. Memory is slightly helpful, but most mathematicians don't have super good memories. I was watching a numberphile video by a fields medalist, and in it he couldn't remember the basic trigonometric identities that 12 year olds know. And I think it's just because you can easily compensate by developing a neat and structured way to write things and offload your memory. Any non trivial problem is really going to have much more things than even people with amazing memories can remember.HS and even college math is not very representative of the art of math. HS and college you focus on remembering formulas then applying them. In college they'll slowly ease you into more higher order stuff that is really what math is about. And it's a huge gap. There was a recent fields medalist June Huh who basically showed sub average math test scores since he was young, flunked out of several math courses in college, and wanted to be a poet. But then he attended a higher level math course on algebraic geometry and developed a vast interest in it, then went on to become a world famous mathematician.>HayateI love ~2010 anime, my childhood.... Moe and fun.
>>84163525As a B.S. and M.S. of mathematics and applied mathematics I can tell you that these degrees absolutely are humanities / philosophy degrees. If you go into it without knowing concretely what you want out of it like pursuing math research (scraping for grants making 30-40k a year doing work far harder and intellectually grueling than any other job) or something that makes good money like actuarial science, you're going to get fucked. This isnt the kind of degree that just guarantees a plethora of work opportunities and hands you internships on a silver platter, so do engineering if you want just a job and less stress.
>>84164325I plan on becoming a teacher and math subject teachers are the most in demand.
>>84164382Nice, that's what I went in for as well.
