First off, I have no interest in being a mathematician. Math was always and continues to be quite difficult for me.
So, as an outsider to advanced math, it blows my mind that there are people who’s entire job title is mathematician. How does that work? What does a mathematician do?


My guess would be maths.
Yes, of course. But what math? For who? In what setting?
Doesn’t that depend on the kind of math you studied?
Innit?
