okay and what are the applications?

Why did he refuse the money?

Did he ever find his mushrooms? How many?Mathematically speaking.

Hello grad students of /sci/,

Undergrad fag here. Have to take my GRE this year - will most likely take subject tests as well because CE major. Is it as easy as people say, assuming the SAT (as well as all of undergrad in general) is was piss-easy for me?
I saw that now one can take the general test online with like two day advance registration, so I was thinking I'd just bang it out over the weekend. Should I actually prepare for it or just go in? Will most schools care if I do end up taking it more than once?
As an aside, are the math/physics/cs subject tests much harder?

plz no bully

Hey /sci/,

Computer Eng. Junior here. Uni has so far been easy as hell. 4.0 GPA, two internships and now working remote (since gay virus) for a company doing IoT hardware design/firmware development. Have a good amount of free time in addition to that. I feel like pursuing grad school after I'm done here - I know I can probably make good money just getting into the industry with a good job straight away since my resume will be pretty damn impressive once I graduate, but I would want to do something more than just being a garden-variety engineer since I feel like I am capable of doing so. Never done anything research related but it seems like it would be interesting compared to my experience thus far.

So, PhD's/PhD students of /sci/, I have some questions for you:

Hahahaha

>uni is running a series of talks on the work of the most recent fields medalists
>go to one on Akshay Venkatesh
>person giving the talk doesn't really work in the same field
>clearly doesn't understand his work super well
>mumbles something about convex bounds

Do your own homework.

I'm putting together a team.

Absolutely

this is one of the more interesting topics in science and definitely has free room for innovation and new discoveries, but /sci/ would rather solve retarded math problems which are centuries old instead of trying to actually achieve something worthwhile.
why am I even surprised.

>the years is 2020
>the much dreaded return of perelman is announced
>the conference is about "various solutions to the millenium problems"
>the scientific world is in uproar
>"did he actually do it? did he solve even more of them??"
>perelman begins, speaking in a broken english with a strong russian accent
>he starts off with, in his words "relatively easy to solve mathematical problems"
>he goes through birch/swinnerton-dryer, hodge, navier strokes like it was nothing
>5 hours pass
>with each of his sentences the audiences eyes widen more and more
>"now, riemanns problem was a bit more difficult, but i still did it in a year"
>yang is present at the conference at perelmans request
>"now your problem was relatively easy, i dont even know how you struggled with it"
>yang almost falls from his chair as perelman presents a simple, yet elegant solution in 20minutes
>perelman arrives at p-np
>"i have to conclude that most complexity spaces are really the same and here is the mathematical proof for it"
>the first ceos of cybersecurity companies start to call their offices and shout at them to shut down the databases
>the audience is completely silent after perelman finishes with presenting the proof
>8 hours have passed, but it went by in an instant
>"now that leads me to an unresolved 8th problem, one I have been struggling for the past five years with, after having finished the rest in 2015"
>the audience gasps
>what could it possibly be??
>perelman makes a long pause
>takes a deep breath
>"i have found no solution to it, as ashamed as i am to say it."
>multiple voices from the audience shout: "so what is it?"
>perelman makes a long pause again
>"how to get a gf"
