Hello, all :) I was just wondering a few things:
1) what is the difference between pure mathematics and applied mathematics, and which classes do you need to take in order to get your Ph.D. in either subject?
2) I know this is a really large branch off, but I was wondering how do you start a proof? When I do proofs, the beginning is always the hardest part for me, but when I get going, I can do proofs fairly easily. I guess what I'm asking is how do you pick the subject for the proof, and then proceed from there?
Thank you for anyone who is willing to help :)
