Projects in pure math are basically just research. I would say just follow your curiosity and try to figure things out. You might not be scratching novel work for awhile, but its still enjoyable.
I don't know exactly what you like to work on, but perhaps theres some related mathematical area youre curious to know more about?
- megous 5y agoTo me, projects in math usually meant trying to apply it to model something or understand something/answer some question by finding a solution. But that may be because my education always put the pure math and applications in close proximity.
- chobytes 5y agoYeah I think that's basically the idea. Just solve whatever problems you find interesting via whatever means you can. Eg Galois theory kind of looks like this: Applying an abstract model of symmetry to a model of polynomials to answer a question about solvability.
