This was really helpful! In my years studying math, I had never received such a clear explanation of what research in pure mathematics looks like. Thanks for helping out
mathematics students a bit clueless like myself 😅. Congratulations on graduating from Princeton!:)
Also a quick question. Are literature reviews also helpful in phd applications?
