Are the job prospect in for example theoretical condensed matter physics, better than the job prospects in say theoretical astrophysics, i.e. is it easier to get a job as a theorist in a more "applied area", compared to a theorist in a not so applicable area? EDIT: Also, how is the job...

I think that you mother's reasoning is a bit silly, ignore it. I think that you will make it (based on the information you have provided) if you work hard. You should follow your dreams and if it doesn't work out you can just switch majors. So at least give it a try...

Thanks, this looks really interesting! Can you recommend any good books on the topic?

I have done some programming (I'm neither good or bad), although I would like a "pencil-and-paper type of research project". Thanks for the answers and keep them coming. :D

I have been thinking about doing my 'high school project' in mathematics and I would like to do some original research. So my question is: Which areas of mathematics would be most suited for me? Having in mind that I'm still in high school, although I have taken some (fundamental) math...

I think this is a good book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/0521446635/?tag=pfamazon01-20 (I have ordered it...)

Thanks for the suggestions!

Hello, Does anyone know of any good books that covers the foundations of mathematics (i.e. mathematical logic, axiomatic set theory, proof theory, model theory, type theory, recursion theory...)? Keeping in mind that I'm still in high school. (Although I'm taking math courses at my local...
