Hey, I am a high school student and I am trying to figure out if I should pursue maths later on in my life such as a Phd in maths because I admire maths a lot. but I am still not quite sure if it is for me so l would like to talk to someone who is relatively an expert in this field and ask them some questions about their experience and responsibilities as a mathematician and how they got into that position and how it was like. For now, if I decide to go down a maths route, I would love to be a professor once l get a little more older and teach at universities to help young people with maths. So I would love to know how you got into that position and how a typical day looks for you!
here are the questions I would like to ask:
Or in other words would you say you were born naturally intelligent?
Could you describe a typical day?
What are the common qualities of individuals who are successful in mathematics?
What are things that you don't like about working as a mathematician?
Does it get boring after some time when all you are doing is math? if you feel like there are stuff I should take into consideration please do tell me.
What made you to become a mathematician?
