I talked to one of my professors about research I've been working on independently involving combinatorics and set theory.
She referred me to another couple professors that specialize more in combinatorics.
How do I contact these professors about my research?
Like do I say "Hey its me, ayyy lmao, I got this interesting problem if you wanna see". Thing is I'm not entirely sure if the problem is unique since my only real resource for that is Google.
TLDR; How to email a professor about a solution to an interesting problem you came up with.

You should go full kamikaze and approach them in a swim or sink move. In my experience, the post doc that helped me with my thesis was a person that appreciated his time a lot and always preferred to communicate in a straight forward manner. Try to not waste their time but most importantly don't waste yours.

Should I like email them first though?
I'm assuming I should make an appointment or something first right?

Show up at their office, if that fails, show up at their car, their house, childrens houses, and you keep showing up until they'd be worried if you didn't and at that moment, they're yours.

I'd go with a combination of an e-mail and visiting their office hours. "hello professor bareback, i'm OP and i'm a kindergartner at the university of faggots. i'm currently working on the cure for hiv. professor power bottom referred me to you. if you don't mind, i'd like to discuss this topic with you during your office hours on this date. please let me know if that's a problem. otherwise, i'll see you then. sincerely. OP."

>> No.11010879

>>11010843
*****and if you don't know their office hours be like "may i make an appointment with you? if so, what date and time works for you?" and instead of "sincerely", you can alternatively say "thank for your time, OP"

Dear beloved:
I am writing to you in the hope that you will endow me twins within my mental boywomb with your superior intellectual seed. For you see, I have been pleasuring myself recently by inserting combinatorial objects into my cranial rectum and rubbing their properties against my cerebral prostate until completion, whence I begin to spray ejaculates (in the sense of Conan Doyle's Holmes) onto the floor. I would like a strong, mathematically manly third party such as yourself to completely dominate my intellectual being and deformation retract my sphincter of knowledge as a discrete topological space.
Thank you for the considerations.
Yours truly, OP.

Pick the professor of highest repute and show up at their office wearing a dress. If he's a particularly vigorous combinatorialist, you've got to be ready to take dick OP, for hours. Train your anus so he can pound you to the hilt, and milk that cock with your boyhole game.
I know you can do it filthy slut OP, good luck!

they suffer just the same anon.
we must make it a reality. don't sacrifice yourself. dedicate yourself it making it true. otherwise you're just a lazy asshole waiting for someone else to make your dreams come true.
>>11010762
just ask. then ask someone else. then because no one will even look at you, just ask someone at the most shit place possible. they'll know someone willing to listen to them, not you. and then you'll have probably 6 authors if it's anything of substantial interest.

definitely send them an email beforehand, like this:

"Dear Prof. Anonyprof,

I am a junior undergrad majoring in math. I was interested in getting involved in research in combinatorics and set theory, and my Math 301 instructor Prof. Femanonyprof advised me to inquire about research opportunities in your group.

Would you be available for a meeting in the coming week, maybe on Thursday afternoon?

Humbly yours,
Anondergrad"

then during your meeting they will probably ask you "hm why are you interested in this stuff" and you could try to talk about your hobby research. OTOH if they just ramble on about what they want you to do, they might not be the best choice to work with since they obviously have a well-defined task for you instead of your random stuff
