Regarding publication in journal

AI Thread Summary
Research papers typically cannot be published in multiple venues without significant modification, but it is acceptable for a paper presented at a conference to later be published in a journal if it provides substantial new insights. While the same research can be discussed in different formats, such as conference abstracts and journal articles, each version should focus on different aspects or include additional data to maintain originality. Conference presentations often serve as preliminary reports, allowing for peer feedback, while journal articles provide a more comprehensive analysis of the research findings. This approach helps to maximize the impact and reach of the research while adhering to publication ethics.

As far I am concern, similar research paper cannot be published in different conferences. But, a research paper already published in a conference “can also be published in a journal if it is worthy of it”.

Is it true??

Sorry for my childish queries.

Yes and no.
You can not normally publish the SAME paper in two different places (there are some rare exceptions).

However, it is perfectly normal to publish papers based on the same results in several places. What normally happens is that you publish a paper in a journal, and then you might present those results at conferences write one or more papers for conference proceedings.
There are several reasons for doing this. One is that it often takes a very long time for proceedings to be published, another is that few people actually read proceedings meaning they gave very low impact.

The "trick" here is to find a new angle or a new focus for each paper and you might e.g. show data that was not in the journal article, but was acquired at the same time.
 
In my experience the conference abstracts tend to come first. You work on a project and when you have some results, you present them at a conference. This provides a great public forum for feedback from your peers. Conference abstracts tend to be "mini" papers in that they don't provide a whole lot of detail and will often only concentrate on certain specific aspects of the work.

Journal submissions tend to be bigger. They provide more details, present more results and include more discussion.

So they aren't exactly the same, but will often come out of the same project.
 
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...
