| Aug 26, 2012 at 19:53 | comment | added | Alexander Chervov | Example - when people teach alg.geom. do they include applications to cryptography or error-correcting codes or anything else ? CLassical textbooks - Hartshorne, Griffiths Harris, Shafarevich - do not do this... | |
| Aug 26, 2012 at 19:51 | comment | added | Alexander Chervov | @Patricia The existence of the question mathoverflow.net/questions/23525/… might be considered as a sign that something can be improved, there is demand on this :) I mean if you have a permanent job - are you often on job hunting site ? But when someone teach students does not he/she should be somewhat responsible for trying to adapt his course for something which might be useful for students ? How can one now this if he/she does not visit job sites ? | |
| Aug 26, 2012 at 19:38 | comment | added | Patricia Hersh | @Alexander: I'm actually in favor of allowing a little bit of career advise on MO, provided it is of general interest, somewhat math specific, not likely to lead to arguments, and on a topic where the community could say something intelligible without specific knowledge of the OP. People who don't want to participate in such things can stay out of such questions. But that said, to me it seems like there are better places for job ads. | |
| Aug 26, 2012 at 19:31 | comment | added | Alexander Chervov | @Patricia Hersh Well, you are right, on the other hand why not to have one more ? Competition makes everything better. Also currently I visit MO almost everyday and the day when I visited ams site is about 5 years ago... Why not to combine fun (MO) with use (jobs) ? | |
| Aug 26, 2012 at 19:25 | comment | added | Patricia Hersh | @Alexander: there are already other websites that focus on advertizing jobs such as www.mathjobs.org. | |
