I don't think research math is that accessible! Granted theoretically it's possible to just read papers and do research--and possibly it's theoretically as accessible as possible. In practice people learn better with teachers and access to experts at the research level. If this pans out, we can commoditize access to experts (or even experts).
- falcor84 3y agoBut even in 1913 a brilliant mathematician from the middle of nowhere could access a world class mentor. I would assume that this is so much easier these days. What would stand in the way of a modern day math prodigy from getting accepted into a good program? Or is it about making this more accessible to students who are "merely good" rather than brilliant?
- Davidzheng 3y agoyes I mean more accessible to the general public yes.
