If anyone has questions (especially technical ones), the ##math channel on freenode is pretty phenomenal. It's quite active, with quite a few grad students, across a range of fields. The best part is how friendly and helpful they are to learners.
Anyway, highly recommended.
- mlevental 8y agothis in general accurate but I would warn people to have a thick skin in there because there are some seriously toxic people in there (TRW3W or whatever his/her name that was fairly knowledgeable but hung out in there I think purely to assert his/her superiority).
- microcolonel 8y agoThis is good advice for existing at all in the world. They're not toxic except in high doses, like all sorts of people.
- hhmc 8y agoI still recognize that name/handle and I haven't logged into ##math for ~10 years, so I can certainly corroborate what you're saying.
