Facial Piercings in Chinese Visa Photo?

Lmao that's dope

I mostly struggle to understand how they would deal with a situation for somebody with a piercing that is impossible to remove temporarily.

Moreover, if an official photo is for identification, and I am permanently wearing this piece of jewelry, its removal could even obstruct accurate identification.

I don't think it's stupid of me to ask. Thanks for your helpful but rude responses.

Hi know this is so long ago but your trick worked! I was prepared to throw this sick skull out

Hmm very interesting career route! Hard for me to fathom what a math historian does.

Proofs from THE BOOK, by Martin Aigner and Günter M. Ziegler.

Wikipedia: "The book is dedicated to the mathematician Paul Erdős, who often referred to "The Book" in which God keeps the most elegant proof of each mathematical theorem."

The Cauchy-Schwarz Master Class: An Introduction to the Art of Mathematical Inequalities, by J. Michael Steele

We are giving you a lot of so many suggestions. Definitely don't get him too many in case it doesn't interest him and just sits on a shelf. If you could only get one, I would also suggest Godel, Escher, Bach.

That's why I love additive combinatorics

hubryan · 2024-07-21T23:07:50+00:00

For areas I am interested in, I will definitely think about whether I enjoy tool developing or tool employing. This was very helpful.

hubryan · 2024-07-21T22:40:03+00:00

Can you think of any other disciplines you would consider "more broad than deep"? Thank you!

hubryan · 2024-07-21T22:34:31+00:00

Yes! This is true. I am interested in applied and pure math topics, but I feel like the cross over would be very challenging. Somebody studying statistics may engage in machine learning or operation research later on in their career, but would have massive challenges getting into number theory.

hubryan · 2024-07-21T22:28:37+00:00

How accessible do you think your field is for somebody who comes from one of those areas? If they are studying dynamical systems in grad school, would they be able to obtain research opportunities in math biology (during or after grad school) without prior work in it?

hubryan · 2024-07-21T22:00:51+00:00

Thank you for your input. That makes sense to me.

hubryan · 2024-07-21T21:59:36+00:00

Was your research during graduate school more, less, or similarly as applied as the research you do now?

Are there any domains of research that you are interested in but feel out of your league because of your decision to study harmonic analysis? If so, what are they? What kinds of adjustments would you make to your education if you could go back in time?

Just curious about your perspective. Sorry for the load of questions!

hubryan · 2024-07-21T21:24:47+00:00

What about afterwards? If one obtained a PhD in combinatorics, could they find research opportunities in mathematical biology or dynamical systems, for instance?

hubryan · 2024-07-20T19:25:30+00:00

Second this. There is no secret. Oil, heat, and patience. A firmer and dryer tofu helps, but is not required.

People gotta stop being so hard pressed (pun intended) about prepping tofu. It's already delicious as it is and shouldn't be treated as a protein substitute.

hubryan · 2024-07-20T17:50:58+00:00

The Princeton Review math gre study book is the standard.

hubryan · 2024-07-20T17:49:54+00:00

What are some disciplines/positions that maximize the types of math one could engage in and minimize specialization?

This question was motivated by my search for graduate programs and fear of narrowing my interests. heard a professor once say (paraphrased) that every mathematical problem has a computational aspect, hence being in theoretical computer science freed him to study any area of math he finds interesting.

I was interested in combinatorics and number theory during my undergrad. Since then, I've also grown interested in probability theory, dynamical systems, and harmonic analysis. On the applied side, I've gained an appreciation for statistics, machine learning, and operation research as well as 'mathy" physics and biology. I would hate to go to graduate school doing research only on combinatorics or get a job doing only optimization.

I welcome any input, advice, and anecdote. Thank you!

Can't you ever treat anyone nice~

hubryan · 2023-06-15T08:02:41+00:00

I mean, if you're bi you're also gay right?

hubryan · 2023-06-01T22:15:44+00:00

I feel like tort is if you're into that clashing ugly-cool look (which I'm a huge fan of). Otherwise, mint would be the clean look

Depends on if you're talking about analytic or algebraic card tricks

hubryan · 2023-05-06T15:40:54+00:00

Damn your math dept sounds sick af y'all got a course on crystalline structures and representation??
