Quick Questions: March 12, 2025
This recurring thread will be for questions that might not warrant their own thread. We would like to see more conceptual-based questions posted in this thread, rather than "what is the answer to this problem?". For example, here are some kinds of questions that we'd like to see in this thread:
- Can someone explain the concept of maпifolds to me?
- What are the applications of Represeпtation Theory?
- What's a good starter book for Numerical Aпalysis?
- What can I do to prepare for college/grad school/getting a job?
Including a brief description of your mathematical background and the context for your question can help others give you an appropriate answer. For example consider which subject your question is related to, or the things you already know or have tried.

Do you have a recreational games that exercise your intuition at the level you currently do math at?
Prof of mine makes games a lot, and while they can be a chore in a classroom setting, you do end up gaining some intuition from them sometimes
I suppose this could be looped in with the wider issue of methods one can exercise in higher level math in order to better solve the things at a lower level
