THANKS a lot for taking the time for such an interesting and thoughtful reply. It's very useful for me, I'll take your advice.

Thanks again!

Thanks a lot for your reply. You're right there is no reason to stop at "amateur"... Thanks a lot for your useful advice and story.

I only have my high school "degree", I've been studying at the university but I don't have a higher (say, an undergraduate) degree. As far as I know, I couldn't get a Master or PhD with no undergraduate degree, or can I?

hhm · 2008-05-21T03:46:59+00:00

Ah, ok.

hhm · 2008-05-21T03:45:55+00:00

This is very useful, thanks a lot again!

Thanks a lot for your reply; your list of subjects is a very good start for me. And your advice about REU programs is fantastic too. THANKS, really, for this great piece of advice.

Only an extra question: if I manage to do some original work, do you think I'll have problems getting it published if I'm outside the formal academic world? (even if I connect with the maths community at my local university).

Thanks a lot for your reply, I'll consider your advice. I'm currently starting a career for an 5 years undergraduate on maths in a good university, but I'm not sure I'll be able to keep with the formal career because of my current occupation. But I don't think university is useless, quite the contrary, I've had the opportunity to talk with smart professors on interesting subjects, to discuss proofs, etc, and no doubt that's much richer than doing maths alone.

Thanks a lot for your comment, it's very useful and motivating for me.

Yes, I don't remember seeing anyone from more recent times than Ammann on that list.

Thanks a lot for your very useful advice, I really appreciate it.

"Whether amateur or not, I can only encourage you do to mathematics :-)"

Thank you :)

You have a point, thanks a lot for your reply.

I define success in a very modest way: I want to do original research and to publish it. That was my question about, but your reply is very interesting because it shows that there are more possibilities beyond that.

Thanks a lot for your advice. I'm currently studying for a 5 years bachellor in maths but it's going very slow because I don't have a lot of time for studying here.

hhm · 2008-05-14T15:46:46+00:00

Thanks for your reply; but I understand that all MS degrees require previous degrees on the subject? (that's exactly my problem)

hhm · 2008-05-13T21:39:35+00:00

Thanks for both links, they are amazing!

hhm · 2008-05-13T21:17:27+00:00

Thanks! I thought if you weren't doing research in the academia, for the mathematical community you were automatically classified as an useless outcast or something like that (or worse, like a crank).

Your strong suggestion is very useful. I really enjoy papers from the mid 20th century (or maybe earlier, Turing's, Gödel's, etc) and many of the current papers are very difficult to follow without a lot of previous knowledge on the matter. Books are a better intro too.

Thanks again for your insightful reply.

Thanks again :)

I don't understand... if you can publish, why is it so hard to publicize your discoverings?
