What is mathematical research like? I'm planning on applying for a math research program over the summer, but I'm slightly nervous about it just because the name math research sounds strange to me. What does math research entail exactly? For other research like in economics, or biology one collects data and analyzes it and draws conclusions. But what do you do in math? It seems like you would sit at a desk and then just think about things that have never been thought about before. I appologize if this isn't the correct website for this question, but I think the best answers will come from here.

We know that mathematics is the subject which is not invented it's just found out from nature and as we all know that research means doing a work which is already been searched or done just to get the more accurate results and minimise some how the approximate errors .mathematics research means some how researching the nature so that we are able to do any work more logically and get the most accurate results related to anything with the help of our previous knowledge in mathematics..
