Math PhD Update: What I did in the first semester of graduate school, what math am I working on.

Back with another math phd update. In this video I go through what I did in the first semester of graduate school and what math I am working on in between now and next semester.

Here's a breakdown of when I talk about certain parts of the first semester:
00:00 Intro
00:25 Teaching Math
02:17 Algebra
04:08 Analysis
06:02 TLDW: What I did the first semester of graduate school
06:22 Fun/Research Things; What math am I working on
08:45 Outro/Thanks!

I am a Mathematics and statistics student and for some reason when I listen to him I want to work harder. Greetings from Namibia Africa.

0:35 "What makes an infective destructor" is the official Freudian slip of 2020.

"Analysis was the object of a lot of worry and stress" was the story of my life last semester. And probably will be for the rest of my math schooling.

[edswalkthroughs]

Glad I found your channel and I got to hear your experience! I was just recently accepted into a Ph.D. math program with a graduate assistantship offer and I really hope I’m ready for this upcoming fall semester 😬

[definitelynotofficial]

Just a tip: figure out what the proper focus for where you are sitting at is, and then turn off autofocus. Autofocus often acts up and results in you going in and out of focus every now and then.

Yo, I'm going in to uni to study undergraduate pure maths. It's gonna be my highest level of education as I've just graduated from high school. Found your channel randomly while looking at what higher-level maths courses in uni and college look like and I've really enjoyed your videos. So, thanks, man!

[nothing]

I just wanna say thank you for these videos, and I hope you keep doing them throughout your PhD. As a first generation college student it really helps to see what your experience has been, since its hard to get this information elsewhere. I'm also pursuing math and your videos are insanely useful for helping me look toward the future.

[poklar]

I’d love to see the course videos! The more resources the better, I think.

[JaspreetSingh-zpnm]

Just looking at those analysis topics and tedious exercises I am imagining gives me shortness of breath, wish me luck guys

[melodymolander]

Congrats! It's very impressive that you did so much for your first semester! I'm in my second year and only have the Analysis qual left to finish, but I'm more a topologist/algebraist, so I'm quite stressed about it. Good luck with the next semester and quals!

[kumirei]

Before you mentioned the 7000 subs I would have guessed you were well over 100k. Love your videos!

[CaseyHercules]

Glad to see that things are going so well! Both in life and in youtube land! Keep up the amazing work!

[lukaskrause]

Love your channel. Commenting for the algorithm.

I'm starting a math PhD program in the fall of 2021. I see that you have videos on things like category theory and topology which are not typically covered much at the undergraduate level. Did you do a lot of self-studying before starting grad school? Also, how old are you, if you don't mind me asking? Thanks!

[dillonhanson]

"Can you focus please? Focus on the book."
- me, to me.

[xiaoyangcai]

Hi! Congrats on straight As! I enjoy watching your videos a lot. I am currently an undergrad math student, and I am also considering doing a master or Ph.D. in math and other relating fields. So, can you talk more about how to apply for a master or Ph.D. ? Thanks a lot. Oh, and btw, could you please tell us which institution you are currently in?

[Cinematoast]

I hope you doing well thanks for sharing I've been thinking a bout getting my undergrad in mathematics but I am too scared the trigger :(

[h_]

Are you going to be in papa flammys next mathvengers?

[likestomeasurestuff]

Oh yes pleeaase if that is possible, post a bit of calculus one; judging by your content, odds are you'd be the first address I'd refer people to, who look for teaching of elemetary calculus on the internet

[minimac]

Did you go to your PhD program right after undergrad? I am currently getting my masters in mathematics and your analysis topics are much more advanced than what we are covering.
