return to mathematics Anonymous 10/30/25(Thu)08:24:43 No.16831370

I have a PhD in math and am thinking of returning to research mathematics, but dude like every unsolved problem is so fucking hard. No idea how I'm gonna actually *do* mathematics when everything is untouchable.

I'm not an idiot either. I can solve IMO problems with about a 50% success rate. But with these unsolved problems its like every idea you try doesn't work.

Where'd you get your doctorate? Xavier's school for the mentally retarded?

To my knowledge, many math PhD students can't solve IMO problems at all

start working on systems with different axioms instead of the usual kiked axioms everyone uses
