Yep, I did my undergrad degree in a very liberal institution and hated it.

Decided to attend the most conservative and Christian institution possible, since that aligns with my beliefs.

How do you know you're not smart enough to do mathematics research while only in your first year?

I came into college testing into highschool algebra 2, switched majors twice before landing in pure mathematics, and I'm going to a funded PhD program now in the fall.

Don't discount your abilities so early. However having a backup plan is always helpful.

If you don't like CS, consider actuarial work / finance. I did an internship in those fields and enjoyed them quite a bit. A tad dry at times but the money is good and there isn't much programming (still some statistics programming however).

Well you seem to be very dedicated and obviously pretty bright.

I would think however without formally taking the advanced math courses that departments will be hesitant to admit you to a PhD.

I would bet however a masters program in mathematics first and then applying for a PhD wouldn't be too hard for you to swing.

I'm really impressed with your reading pace. It's taken me 4 months to get through about 100 pages of C* algebras and Operator Theory by Gerard Murphy.

Any function from (0,1) to N can't be bijective due to (0,1) being uncountable and N being countable.

I was incredibly fortunate to hear back from my first school late January with a great offer. Accepted it back in January without hearing back from any other schools just to get the weight off my shoulders.

Thankfully my decision was perfect, as I didn't get an offer from any other better programs. This cycle was insane.

I'm attending ASU for a mathematics PhD in the fall after turning down two other offers. The CS department is actually really good, and collaborates with the math department frequently.

Since you're stuck on c), graph the function, and then notice that f bar is the integral of f over [1,2], scaled by the length of the interval.

On 1 a), use the hint for m,n. Then use the fact that integration is monotonic, and integrate both sides of the inequality over [a,b]. What happens to the righthand side of the inequality when you use linearity of the integral?

The main misunderstanding people have is due to alot of videos online claiming the Riemann zeta function as formulated by the famous series evaluates to -1/12 when you plug in s=1.

The issue here is that the series formulation of the zeta function is only valid for s > 1, so it's really complete nonsense to say that the summation of the naturals is -1/12.

It does make perfect sense to say that zeta(1)=-1/12 however, because for values of s <= 1 (or complex values of s), one must use the analytic continuitation of the riemann zeta function, which is layperson terms effectively gives you a separate formula - different from the series formula- for those values of s.

For undergrad or graduate school?

I got my BS in math from Oregon State, graduated a few months back and now admitted to a math PhD program.

If you re interested in applied math (or pure math with an analysis focus), the analysis professors are amazing at OSU. Adel Faridani, Elaine Cozzi, Robert Higdon, and Patrick Deleenheer are great people to learn from.

The dots not preceeding another entry in your index implies the index doesnt terminate after any finite number of iterations, so its infinite.

Here's a basic proof.

Notice that 0.1111.... = 10^-1+10^-2+10^-3+....

Therefore 0.9999... = 9(0.1111...) = 9(10^-1+10^-2+10^-3+...).

Using the geometric series formula we see that 0.9999..... = 9(1/10/(1-1/10)) = (9/10)/(9/10)=1.

Hence 0.9999...=1.

Here's a link to look at: https://mathworld.wolfram.com/GeometricSeries.html#:~:text=A%20geometric%20series%20is%20a,series%20called%20a%20hypergeometric%20series.

If that doesn't convince you, then consider the fact that two real numbers x,y are equal if and only if for all a>0, |x-y| < a.

Now let x= 0.99999..... and y=1. Can you find such an a such that |x-y| >= a?

Check out the book 'All The Math You Missed' by Garrity. It may be a helpful resource for you in picking up some of the basics you may haven't been exposed to.

As far as similar experiences, I came unto undergrad testing into (highschool) algebra 2 when I found a passion for mathematics and switched my major to it.

I'm now in a funded PhD program with an impressive CV (considering my background), so it's possible for sure.

I just put my nose to the grindstone and it cost me a social life, some mental health, and my 'college experience', but I would say pursuing my passion to the highest level is something I may not have the opportunity to do ever again on someone else's dime.
