In your case I think you would be better served by being able to discuss with a mathematics faculty in a way similar to what happens naturally in academia.
I think it's not just money but the ability to more freely go back to school. It is difficult-ish to get the funding for, essentially, self-directed research during the best years of your life, and basically impossible if you don't already have an undergraduate degree.
- q1w2 5y agoAsking someone with a mature career to formally return to academia seems like a non-starter. In such a case he'd need to pay more money and spend even more time - when all he wants to do is work on this one particular problem.
- R0b0t1 5y agoI know, that's why I'm not asking him to do that. It's just instead of giving him money what he really needs is an opportunity to speak with professionals. The issue is a typical academic career path is usually the only way to speak to those people.
