Interested in working with others on a pure math topic, maybe number theory

About the author

My name is Evelyn Brylow,
I am a student currently, just starting to get into higher math. I am mostly going to go into an algebra field. I’m not sure what I could do in a group, maybe just as a sounding board.

More details

I would like to make something that shows a bit of the process of discovering a topic, because I find that there are very few videos out there that give me any idea of what its like to be a mathematician that aren’t lecture-y.

Hi Evelyn, Id be interested in making a video about cryptography and connections between it and number theory (through using a key modulus number to decipher a seemingly random string of numbers back into a message). If youd be interested let me know, I have been learning manim so I could possibly do the visuals.

[EvelynBrylow]

that sounds interesting, and you should definitely work on it, but I'm looking to join a more pure math focused group

It could be very interesting to discuss the group behind the RSA cipher (or more generally elliptic curve ciphers). You construct a "number system" from points on an elliptic curve, and define an geometric addition rule from the intersection of this curve and a line. That is; you have two points, draw a line between the two, wherever this line intersects the curve at a third point is the "sum" (almost) of the other two points. Easily animatable too.
I would imagine lattice-based ciphers to be a little harder to animate.

Hi! I make videos, many of which are about number theory, since recreational number theory is a huge interest of mine. I've discovered some interesting patterns in my own notetaking, which I haven't put in videos yet as I'm still looking for further patterns in them. Some of the things I discovered I later located research about online which confirmed my hypotheses in deeper ways, but others of them I still haven't found any other research on. None will probably lead to groundbreaking discoveries, but you never know! I would love to discuss (or collaborate on a video) about some of these patterns and/or the great moods it conjures in me to search for patterns and find clues about them myself! If you want to chat about this topic or think about collaborations, my email is combouniversity@gmail.com

Hi, I would like to put up my idea at #18, it would include stuff like Graph theory and Ramsey theory where animations would be quite useful. Combinatorics is a field which has many applications, so it might not be something that interests you that much, but I want to look at it from a competition math perspective, if that interests you. I may not be an expert, but I hope you consider my idea for a collab

[EvelynBrylow]

combinatorics is fun, but I really don't like competition math, so I wouldn't enjoy helping with that idea, sorry!
