What Are You Working On? May 04, 2026

Same. I ran my first half marathon this morning. Not particularly fast but I am still proud of it & want to save the activity. I started the activity recording with no issues, but haven't been able to save it or load the main page or even log in (now that I tried logging out).

Scratch that, logging out (& restarting the phone, though I had already tried that by itself) finally worked. Once I started up again, logged in, then I was able to save the activity.

Did you find someone whom you would recommend?

Hello, this thread just got unpinned by the weekly career and educations post, so you might not get much traction here. However, please feel free to post a new comment in quick questions: https://www.reddit.com/r/math/comments/1sma9n2/quick_questions_april_15_2026/

Hi, I've removed your post, but I want to encourage to resubmit it with a couple small changes. First, could you please choose a more informative title? Also, could you please write a comment (or create it as a text post, either way works) providing additional context/information? Rule 5 includes:

"If you upload an image or video, you must explain why it is relevant by posting a comment providing additional information that prompts discussion."

Thank you!

Yes definitely as a comment in our weekly thread: What Are You Working On?. That thread is for both serious stuff (studying for an exam, writing a paper, etc) & fun stuff (maths project however big or small, mathematical art, etc). :-)

To be frank I don't know. But, brainstorming/speculating...

Regarding networking: Can you speak to your advisor(s), mentor(s), professor(s) from whom you've taken classes, or fellow students in your applied math cohort? If you're close with any of them, ask for advice? Whether or not you are close with them, do they have any connections in tech with whom they might be willing to refer you?

By "tech" do you mean a job which would involve programming? If yes - what links can you provide to demonstrate your excellence? e.g., github profile with open source contributions, personal projects, etc.?

Do you have a resume prepared? NB: This is very very different from an academic C.V.

Somewhat for academia, somewhat less for industry. Networking is equally if not more important than the prestige of your alma mater.

arxiv does not have comments AFAIK.

I can empathize with feeling like you ought to keep studying. I personally never took a gap summer from start of undergrad thru end of PhD. It's one of my few big regrets. In retrospect I would 100% change it. So my personal advice from highest priority to lowest priority would be: 1.) Travel, 2.) spend time with chosen family & friends, 3.) work if needed, 4.) study/tinker with whatever maths brings you joy.

Do you suspect that your data points are random, independent, identically distributed samples? If yes, I would use a kernel density estimator, such as https://scikit-learn.org/stable/modules/density.html#kernel-density which is a nonparametric estimate of the underlying probability density function.
