always providing high quality videos, thank you !

[@JoelRosenfeld]

I’m glad you liked it! Just trying to help people out.

[@safeyyaalyahia7198]

😊 Great

[@JoelRosenfeld]

Thanks!

Thanks, the "research program" perspective is key. I think of it as: you need to make it easy and appealing to imagine how the department will look with you as a member in 5-10 years. At least, i hope that is a good principle... will find out next year.

[@JoelRosenfeld]

That really is the key. When I see a job talk that only focuses on a specific problem, I wonder if that was 80-90% their adviser’s work. The big question is what are you going to be doing at my s institution? Sure, I want to see some projects completed, so that I might believe you can do it. But I want a vision of the future.

i honestly do not know why im watching this (im starting an undergraduate maths degree in october) but very cool amd informative video👍❤️

[@JoelRosenfeld]

haha! this advice is definitely for someone a bit further along in their career. congrats on getting into a university! What maths are you looking forward to the most?

[@maximelacoult5572]

@@JoelRosenfeld I don't know! Ive looked at introductory number theory, group theory, real analysis and computational fluid dynamics for my university application and I loved reading about all of them🥰

[@JoelRosenfeld]

@@maximelacoult5572 I really loved number theory when I was an undergrad. George Andrews has a nice cheap and accessible book on Number Theory, with a bit of a combinatorial stint to it. I have a video series I’m making now on Analysis, if you haven’t seen it already. I think I put everything into the playlist “An Introduction to Real Analysis,” if you want to check it out. Anyway, good luck! Let me know if I can clear anything up!

[@diegoandrade3912]

Love the videos. Can you point me to more details of your work on Koopman and Hilbert operators?

[@JoelRosenfeld]

I’m at a conference right now, so I’ll have ti get back to you on that. Feel free to pester if you don’t hear back from me in the next week
