Hey so I love maths and did both my bachelors and masters in it. My love was mainly algebra/functional analysis/C*-algebras… i even did some research in operator algebras but i felt it was too lonely for me. What I really enjoyed was the discussions with my friends while battling a problem.
I’ve been working as a Data Analyst for some years but i really miss doing maths. Once in a while i pick up an old book or an advanced topic one but I don’t have the motivation to read it alone. Also tried learning Lean 4, signing up for those AI math training jobs (ended up not getting tasks or responses for those), but i ultimately don’t follow through with any which is kinda frustrating. Tutoring is off the table because I don’t have the patience for it.
Does anyone feel this way as well? What ways did you find to be able to stimulate that mathsy part of your brain aside from the usual puzzles?
