They are experimental, we are computational. Around 1.5 years ago, they asked me to model something, which I did. Based on the model, several very cool and ... |
2023/05/26 | 1,298 | 5,360 | <issue_start>username_0: I am very inexperienced in this process and could only find generic information.
I would like to submit a paper to a particular conference, and I am not sure if there are fees tied to the submission. If so, would the fees still be necessary even if the paper is rejected?
In particular, I am t... |

2023/05/27 | 1,013 | 4,475 | <issue_start>username_0: I have received peer reviewers comments on a paper I submitted to a reputed journal.

2023/05/27 | 1,781 | 7,489 | <issue_start>username_0: A month ago I submitted a piece of coursework which still hasn't been marked. When I wrote it for some sections, I made notes with ChatGPT, which I was supposed to rewrite in my own words, but I forgot to. Just yesterday I reread through it and I realized I plagiarized.
The essay is 3k words l... |
2023/05/27 | 2,632 | 9,292 | <issue_start>username_0: A piece of wisdom I have heard several times is that an academic should change their direction of research roughly every seven years. This change needs not be radical but clearly more than what you naturally do within those seven years.
Does anybody have a reliable source for this rule of thum... |
2023/05/28 | 2,715 | 9,575 | <issue_start>username_0: I am currently a second year masters student in Math in India and I wish to go to the US or Europe for pursuing my PhD.
But due to a low GPA in my first year, I plan to apply next year after completing my masters with a decent aggregate GPA. This would also aid my application because I will ha... |
2023/05/29 | 1,173 | 4,905 | <issue_start>username_0: I have completed my Masters, and will soon be beginning a PhD in my field of research. Recently I had an idea that I could start a blog that would explain some papers or concepts I found interesting in a more pedagogical way as compared to peer-reviewed papers or literature reviews. I do unders... |
2023/05/29 | 1,269 | 5,295 | <issue_start>username_0: **Summary:** after graduation, I sent my professor a friend request on Facebook, but didn't have response for a few days. I feel really bad and I really want to apologize.

2023/05/29 | 1,920 | 8,136 | <issue_start>username_0: I have received a review request from a journal (in case it matters, it is the best journal in a certain field of mathematics). The article has some material in which I can reasonably be considered an expert (because I myself have published something related in the same journal) whereas some ot... |
2023/05/29 | 664 | 2,508 | <issue_start>username_0: I'm thinking of applying to the <NAME> postdoc fellowship.

2023/05/30 | 987 | 4,131 | <issue_start>username_0: I recently submitted a paper to a peer-reviewed journal and received feedback from two reviewers. Reviewer #1's feedback was rather nonspecific, but Reviewer #2's comments were quite perplexing.
This reviewer accused my paper of lacking novelty, stating it merely echoed previous findings but u... |

I don't want to s... |
2023/05/30 | 2,094 | 9,176 | <issue_start>username_0: I am writing about the analysis of a certain mathematical object. The expression for this object is obtainable in several ways:
* non-rigorous ways: they amount to just computations
* rigorous ways: they are precise and apart from the above computations, one needs to supply some proof of certa... |

2023/05/31 | 755 | 2,984 | <issue_start>username_0: I spent 2 years in a Visiting Assistant Professor position, which just "ended" after 4 tenure track positions were filled. I was not considered for any of them. My best guess is that I a) don't have enough research, 2) am older (definitely 40+) so won't be there for long enough.
After the semes... |
