>>12633304> I'm trying to get into undergraduate research in mathematicsFirst of all, do your homework. Get a math professor's name. Then go to your uni library, and read everything that he's published in the last 10 years. If that's what you want to help with, go have a coffee with him. If not, pick someone else.
Nothing pisses professors off worse than people wanting to research just to get a job. You might as well go stock shelves at Walmart.
