when will I learn how to come up with those really complicated-looking bounds? you know the ones: a dozen seemingly random roots and transcendental functions slapped together in chaotic form to assert a bound on some prime divisor or some shit. I thought I'd start learning in my junior-year RA class, but it's turning out not to be what I thought it was, so is it postgrad analytic number theory or something else?
god bless.

the arrogance of some of you idiots.

I have no idea. Finished my master degree without ever encountering special functions.

Did you ever take an introductory proof-writing class? That helped me make that leap. I used the Vellman book to study on the side. I was kinda shit at math and just was able to grind hard for good grades at that point, so you can do it to for sure.

>analysis
not that useful in general. Algebra and geometry are far more important

jfc, surely someone can actually answer OP. I'm not a math guy, but I know what he's referring to, and I think it is indeed analytic number theory in which you learn to dick around with like...
>the gap is at most [whole bunch of exponentials and logs and trig functions and blah that make you wonder how the fuck someone came up with that]
I think there's something with sieve theory too. I dunno. Math dudes need to chime in, but this board has gone to shit.
