Daily reminder that elliptic curves are _the_ best mathematical objects.

Heya, /math/
I'm pretty happy today : I just realised that there exist a way to transfer from my school to the most prestigious of the country. I can try to transfer either to the math department or the physics one.

One of the experimental subject was how to calculate the speed of light using a microwave.
I've one year to prepare for it. Starting now. I think I'll be trying physics.
Sorry for the blogpost, I just wanted to share it. Bye !
My school uses Stewart calculus up until calc 3 (advanced calculus)
Is it brainlet?
...
It's just very verbose. It's good for what it teaches, though. Very clear and detailed.
I find none of your lists points appealing or of special interest. desu.
>Current research?
Have to learn some programming for muh job :/
>Interesting problems?
I'd like to create a list of all the easily constructively verifiable problems among the unsolved problems.
Because if I do something notable, I don't want to pull a Mochizuki
Well, in unrelated points on your question, I posed pic related some time ago
>Anything cool on the Arxiv?
I got too many basic books to read to cruise around much on the arxiv, sadly
What's the most painless way to make drawings in LaTeX ? Especially geometrical curves/tangents/angles and all of that
How do I decide whether or not to switch to math in university?
My knowledge of elliptic curves consists of Ch.4 of Hartshorne. How are they used in cryptography?
What are you studying currently, what year and how old are you ? These are the most important factors I guess
