AI Thread Summary
A user is conducting a history of mathematics-related Extended Project Qualification (EPQ) and has created a four-question questionnaire to gather data. The target demographic includes mathematicians, such as maths teachers and students beyond A-level, who possess a solid understanding of mathematics. The user is seeking responses to aid their research and is open to questions regarding the questionnaire or link. Additionally, there is a discussion about ranking important mathematical topics and sub-topics relevant to modern mathematics, along with a note on correcting typos in the questionnaire.

Hi,
I'm doing a history of Maths related EPQ. I've written a questionnaire to collect data I need for the project; all I need now are people to answer it. It's only 4 questions long so it shouldn't take more than 5 mins. The link is below.

Mathematical Developments before 1900 - Project Research

My target demographic is mathematicians, so pretty much anyone who's studied maths beyond A-level and has a good overall knowledge of the subject; so maths teachers, undergraduates, postgraduates etc.
I'd be really grateful for any responses; it's a great help.
Feel free to ask any questions, especially if there's a problem with the link or questionnaire.
Thanks,
Pascal

Out of the list of mathematical topics and sub-topics below, rank the top 5 most important to modern mathematics?
This sentence does not require a question mark.

Tick the following numeral representations that would have been able to recognize
"You" is probably omitted.
 
Thanks for pointing those typos out, I've just corrected them. Can't believe I didn't spot them when I read it through.
 
TL;DR Summary: I want to do a PhD in applied math but I hate group theory, is this a big problem? Hello, I am a second-year math and physics double major with a minor in data science. I just finished group theory (today actually), and it was my least favorite class in all of university so far. It doesn't interest me, and I am also very bad at it compared to other math courses I have done. The other courses I have done are calculus I-III, ODEs, Linear Algebra, and Prob/Stats. Is it a...
I’ve been looking through the curricula of several European theoretical/mathematical physics MSc programs (ETH, Oxford, Cambridge, LMU, ENS Paris, etc), and I’m struck by how little emphasis they place on advanced fundamental courses. Nearly everything seems to be research-adjacent: string theory, quantum field theory, quantum optics, cosmology, soft matter physics, black hole radiation, etc. What I don’t see are the kinds of “second-pass fundamentals” I was hoping for, things like...
