What is the point of math research?
1) Continuing math research is important because incredibly useful concepts like cryptography and calculus and image and signal processing have and continue to come from mathematics and are helping people solve real-world problems.
Is math competition useful?
Competing in math competitions is one of many ways to demonstrate a student’s intellectual capacity and commitment to the field. Through practice and preparation, students will further strengthen their math skills, which will enhance their grades, AP exams, and standardized test scores.
What is pure math research?
In ‘Pure Mathematics’ The Pure Mathematics Group has internationally renowned research groups in Algebra, Analysis, Combinatorics and Probability, and Geometry and Mathematical Physics. Research students are welcomed in to all the research groups and are actively involved in all research activities.
Why is pure mathematics important?
Historical experience shows that pure mathematics is one of the most useful parts of science. Pure mathematicians discover things which find applications later. Without pure mathematics, most of the “applied mathematics” and other sciences would be simply impossible.
How many students are there in an IMO competition?
