I used to be a we'er because most (physics) papers i've read through use it. Though my supervisor rages when he sees any sign of it | ||

B/c my master thesis had more then 120 pages, but only to please examiners, otherwise it would shrink to something like 20 pages. I'm glad that I finally graduated, b/c I hated these kind of bureaucracy where you have to artificially inflate page count with some retarded shit. And this is only one example. O_O my masters thesis had a word count limit, not a lower limit. | ||

It's actually not that hard to discover something new in math. Just pick a topic and start developing. Of course something actually majorly important is a different story. | ||

Of course something actually majorly important is a different story. pic a topic and develop. im guessing that probably means not discovering a new math technique per se, but maybe discovering that a certain math concept can be applied to the thing ur looking into, or that thing behaves like a certain mathmatical model? that's as far as my imagination takes me. can u take me further? an example would help. | ||
