| Oct 2, 2020 at 23:16 | comment | added | Max Lonysa Muller | @RobbieGoodwin I did not say I did not like your approach! I said it's field-agnostic, by which I meant to say it can be applied to any field. | |
| Oct 2, 2020 at 21:41 | comment | added | Robbie Goodwin | @Max Muller That's why I upvoted Kimball's suggestion regarding Academia SE. It just so happens that your work on mathematics isn't the point… or you will be able to explain why this doesn't apply to other subjects. Can you, or not? General advice on independent study could -- at least in theory -- be wholly irrelevant. Regarding seeking contact, what exactly did you not like about my approach? | |
| Oct 2, 2020 at 21:33 | comment | added | Max Lonysa Muller | @RobbieGoodwin Yes, hence Kimball's suggestion regarding Academia SE, I suppose. It just so happens that I studied and do research on mathematics in particular. General advice on independent study could -- at least in theory -- be field-specific. Regarding seeking contact, your approach does seem field-agnostic indeed. | |
| Oct 2, 2020 at 21:27 | comment | added | Max Lonysa Muller | @JohnColeman I'm mainly interested in analytic number theory, functional equations and game theory. | |
| Oct 2, 2020 at 21:15 | comment | added | Robbie Goodwin | How is this about maths and not English, chemistry or physics? Why should you not contact an expert saying "I've seen your work (in/on/about detail) and I hope you might do me the honour of commenting on my idea…" pause for outline. "Does that seem to you worthy of research? If it does would you consider guiding me or could you recommend someone suitable?" | |
| Oct 2, 2020 at 9:33 | comment | added | John Coleman | What is the area of math that you are interested in? It is possible that there might be some advice that people could give which is more appropriate for that area. For example, things which have a large overlap with computer science open up more possibilities than in something such as set theory. | |

| Sep 30, 2020 at 12:29 | comment | added | Kimball | While this question seems well received here, it's also appropriate at Academia SE. You might get answers from different perspectives if you try asking there too. | |

| Sep 29, 2020 at 20:23 | comment | added | Hollis Williams | There are websites where you could theoretically get free access to basically any book or paper you need, although obviously I can't recommend that. | |

| Sep 29, 2020 at 19:08 | comment | added | YCor | I agree with Yemon Choi. The issue has already been discussed at many places, see for instance the links in comments to meta.mathoverflow.net/questions/2349 | |
| Sep 29, 2020 at 18:48 | comment | added | mathworker21 | @MaxMuller I agree with your comment. | |
| Sep 29, 2020 at 18:32 | comment | added | Yemon Choi | FWIW, speaking as someone who upvoted your question, I disagree with the previous comment. (No offence intended or taken, but seeing as comments can only be upvoted not downvoted... ) | |
