Math professor here, I am now unfireable and have no incentive to get good student evals. I will literally destroy every single one of you retarded engineering and comp sci fuckers who ends up in my classes. Go ahead and complain to the dean, I don't give a fuck. I've waited a long time for this

kek I work 15 hours a week, 30 weeks a year, and make over 100k. I do all kinds of productive and fun shit in my free time. Gardening, remodeling, gunsmithing, building, landscaping, you name it. I have no one micromanaging me and can never lose my job.
Go ahead and brag about your 50hr/week 50 week/year wagie corporation job for muh 200k total comp (in reality 100k actual salary but count health insurance and unsellable stocks as compensation to impress roasties). Make sure to send your progress report to your project leader by Friday!

thank you for admitting mathematicians don't do research. this board should be rebranded as for only scientists, and all mathematicians be IP range banned.

Lots of things, but most of it is made up useless shit. Operations research and numerical methods for PDEs are probably the most practically applicable area that people work on. Combinatorics and graph theory are a paper mill dumpster fire, 100 IQ retards introduce variants of problems, pick the low hanging fruit, and no one ever looks at the variant again. Lots of analysis-adjacent areas are stale grad student traps.

Many mathematicians do research, I used to too and still do occasionally. I have dozens of papers in A-tier journals and hundreds of citations. But I have realized there's no point, it's much like memorizing chess openings or creating new variations of a line 15 moves in. 99% of math research is just something you do for fun with no actual value other than getting yourself a cushy job. I now prefer to spend my time building physical objects that directly benefit me.

Don't they learn that when taking a limit? In any case, that's for high school, adults use neighborhoods (or even bases) which I think are actually more intuitive.

kek if you think a professor's job is actually teaching students and doing research. It's not. It's managing cattle and bureaucratic bullshit. Some students don't need a professor at all and can learn the material just by reading the textbook and watching high production quality youtube videos that explain it much better than I ever could. But some students are fucking retards who need to be wrangled and herded like cattle. The administrative work will also never go away no matter how much AI you throw at it. So don't worry, my job's not going anywhere

Consistent negative student feedback over an extended period could potentially trigger an investigation or performance review, which may lead to sanctions or other consequences, but not necessarily dismissal.
Many such cases.

The fact that you are now literally planning to sit on your ass and do nothing worthy in research just shows how broken and full of leeches the system is. You could care less about mathematics, or pursuit of knowledge. Alm you wanted was a job to do your pointless ax-throwing-esque hobbies. Did in your "boundless" intellect realize you could have done alk that by bebing another drone in industry and not a parasite in academia? That it'd pay many times the salary and give you far more personal freedom?
Of course not. You are a short sighted nimwit. You can crank out the mathetical lingo,but are an intellectual fraud. It's a shame. You likely suck at teaching due to your own social ineptitute and autistic demeanor.
What a waste
