Sep 29, 2018 at 15:22 comment added Gerhard Paseman Do as you wish. The point is to get practice approaching people and asking them, even ones you don't know, in a way that advances your goal. Again, many people will answer a brief request, and hopefully one or two will answer with information you can use. If you send me such a request, the answer I give may not tell you how to write a paper, but it might tell you how to write a request.

Sep 29, 2018 at 14:55 comment added Manfred Weis @GerhardPaseman that is of also a good idea; I have to check, if I can contact my former numerics professor, but I was a long long time ago when I studied math.
Sep 29, 2018 at 14:45 comment added Gerhard Paseman I highly recommend asking professionals directly. If you write a summary that they can read in a few minutes, followed by a longer first draft (marked as such so they know what to spend time on), then you can reference these from your MathOverflow user page and in a brief request that you send them. If you were to send me (also a non professional) such a request, I might reply that I am not interested, but might make suggestions as to how to find interested people. If you can, get brief feedback from two sources or more. Gerhard "Get That Support Network Activated" Paseman, 2018.09.29.
