YMN Song Misc

At the joint math meetings this year, the YMN Town Meeting started off with a rousing song.  As requested, I'm posting it to the site.  Board members should study up so we can all perform it together next year!

Journal Recommendation Misc

By DCMath
Posted Sun Apr 29, 2007 at 02:22:10 AM PDT
Hi there, I am a young working professional with a BS in math, getting ready to start graduate school in math. I am looking for a journal to subscribe to as my employer will reimburse it and since I am traveling a lot, I would like to have a print copy. Any suggestions on a journal that would cover enough in-depth for someone with advanced undergraduate math experience, but be general enough to cover a wide variety of topics for a mathematician that is not sure what area to specialize in?

After reading through the comments posted on Anonymous Hero's story, I decided I should probably update my previous post.

Math Grad Podcast Misc

Thanks to Math Forge, and some other internet sources, the Math grad podcast came to my attention.

A brief way to introduce mathematics to non-mathematicians and a quick way to review some interesting mathematics for those who are mathematically-inclinded.

Is this a good study plan for grad school? Misc

By Anonymous Hero
Posted Mon May 29, 2006 at 06:24:26 PM PDT
I am independently studying for grad school while at college. The following list outlines my study plan for the next several years (the books are listed in the order they will be studied in.) It would help me a good deal if anyone could tell me, for example, whether or not I should study the books in the order I have laid out, whether I should add/delete certain books, etc.- up until now I have had to rely on information gathered from amazon.com:
  • Algebra (Lang)
  • Introduction to Lie Algebras and Representation Theory (Humphreys)
  • Commutative Algebra (Eisenbud)
  • Algebraic Geometry (Hartshorne)
  • Topology (Munkres)
  • Algebraic Topology (Spanier)
  • Principles of Mathematical Analysis (Rudin)
  • Real and Complex Analysis (Rudin)
  • Complex Analysis (Ahlfors)
  • Functional Analysis (Lax)
  • A Course in the Theory of Groups (Robinson)
  • Ring Theory (Rowen)
  • A Course in Arithmetic (Serre)
  • Algebraic Number Theory (Neukirch)
  • P-adic Numbers, p-adic Analysis, and Zeta-Functions (Koblitz)
  • A First Course in Modular Forms (Diamond)
  • Basic Number Theory (Weil)
  • Class Field Theory (Gras)
*Note: I have already studied Lang's "Undergraduate Algebra" and Lax's "Linear Algebra".

Albert Einstein's Birthday/Pi Day Misc

Besides being Pi Day (3/14), it is also Albert Einstein's Birthday.

If you have any free time today, you should check out this site (which also has many links to other Pi-related sites), The Ridiculously Enhanced Pi Page, which is connected with The Exploratorium's 18th Annual Pi Day Celebration Page.

Which Undergrad Subjects Should I Learn? Misc

By Divergence
Posted Tue Jan 03, 2006 at 09:22:52 PM PDT
I am currently a junior in high school, but I enjoy studying math independently. However, I am not exactly sure what subjects I should study to become a "pure" mathematician; for example, do I need to study multivariable calculus from, e.g., Stewart's "Calculus", or should I learn from "baby" Rudin? Do I need to study diffy Q's? etc. If anyone could, e.g., provide me with a list of subjects I should learn (up to the grad level) I would be very grateful.
