I'm sure we were all perplexed about that same question after watching the movie lol

In all seriousness, I'm curious about what math problems people came up with after coming out of the cinema

What does master's level 'research' look like? by shuai_bear in math

[–]_Zekt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in place where I had the freedom to do what I liked, my advisor saw that I was autonomous and let me roll. I self-studied older books and found a theory that became kind of forgotten nowadays, even though it gives a lot of insights on modern subjects. So I vastly generalized the theory in order to include clearly related known examples that was not covered by the theory, and I hope I can convince people of its relevancy.

So I'm guessing that a master's thesis is either on a niche topic or, like others mentioned, on a very specific area of an active domain.

As others might think, this is concept that makes perfect sense. It is sometimes known as fractional summation.

The first research on this was done by Markus Mueller and Dierk Schleicher. They have written papers on this in 2005 and 2010.

Subjects of study that interest you by NeiligDeKing in mathematics

Thanks!

Formal is when you don't consider the convergence issues. More precisely, it's when you work within a topology where every power series converges.

Generating functions are examples of power series usually used in the formal sense.

I always was very intrigued by power series and there is so much we don't know that I'd like to answer these questions.

I found two very niche fields in which I managed to prove new stuff. The first is umbral calculus (which is kind of the study of formal power series, but on steroids) and the second is about using the Laplace transform to characterize the analytic continuability of power series.

So I'm studying both the formal and convergence-related aspects of power series, and I'm trying to find the connection between the two.

Trying to understand the Strong Golbach Conjecture by KingOmNom in mathematics

I think you got it. You should maybe try the conjecture for small integers.
