Guys -

42 year old here. I've been studying/loved mathematics since I was quite young, maybe 4 or 5. I tested out of it in high school so I could study it independently because I didn't like the way it was taught. Since then, I've dropped out of high school, but I still study math incessantly. When I don't have a book, I'm doing problems in my head.

The reason I dropped out of high school is that I have very severe schizophrenia. This has manifested itself in a variety of ways, but I'm on antipsychotics to dilute the attacks that plague me almost daily. That's neither here nor there I guess.

My question is how do you get something published if you've got no academic credentials? I have something that I know is worthy of publish that may get me a full ride at a decent graduate school. I just have no idea how to go about it.

Tl;dr no academic credentials, how do I get something published?

Please help. I'd really appreciate it.

Just sent it to a mathematicial journal. It will get peer reviewed and if it is good enough it gets published.

What kind of math are you most interested in, just out of curiosity?

you can email it to me and i can forward it to one of the people i know who works at the American mathematical society. if its good you will have a better that normal chance of getting it published with them.

1) Just send it for publication. You don't have to be affiliated with a university or have any acedemic credientials to submit something to a professional journal.

2) Go notarize that shit, then have a math professor at your local university give you some feed back. Revise if need be, then refer to step 1)

Your case is not too unusual OP. Since anyone can do math in there spare time and all it requires in pen/paper (usually).
