Mathematics: What do grad students in math do all day?

Mathematics: What do grad students in math do all day?

by Yasha Berchenko-Kogan

A lot of math grad school is reading books and papers and trying to understand what's going on. The difficulty is that reading math is not like reading a mystery thriller, and it's not even like reading a history book or a New York Times article.

The main issue is that, by the time you get to the frontiers of math, the words to describe the concepts don't really exist yet. Communicating these ideas is a bit like trying to explain a vacuum cleaner to someone who has never seen one, except you're only allowed to use words that are four letters long or shorter.

What can you say?

An AutoHotkey script for widescreen, high-resolution monitors. Resizes the active window to be 75% of the screen's width (and 100% of its height, taskbar excluded) and centres it. Triggered by pressing Win+Shift+Up. Great for websites that don't nicely centre their content. Win+Shift+C now centres the active window without resizing it.
; When Win+Shift+Up is pressed, resize the active window to be 75% of the screen width
; and centre it. Useful for widescreen resolutions >= 1080p, but uses the resolution
; of the primary monitor.
