It was a big hassle and a big life change. But I've always had in the back of my mind that I wanted to do it and I'm glad I did. I put it off because the money I was making, and the places I was traveling, was too good to pass up at the time. So I saved money with the idea that I would get the chance to go to school.
I did try to learn math as an autodidact before I began the degree. The more abstract the math, the harder it was for me to self-study. It was inefficient at best. At worst, I'd hit a wall and not have anyone to reach out to.
- hobbyist 12y agoI am guessing you went for a graduate degree in math. How hard was it to get admission? Would you like to recommend some good schools for doing something like you did. I am just a little younger but hungry for math knowledge.
- tokenrove 12y agoThanks for the reply. My solutions to the problem of not having anyone to reach out to have been to make friends with mathematicians, and to hire grad students as tutors.
