DESCRIPTION:Title: <a href="https://researchseminars.org/talk/BC-Math/49/"
 >Number theory inspired by computation\, confusion\, and weird questions
 </a>\nby Heidi Goodson as part of Brooklyn College Math Department Events\
 n\nLecture held in TBD.\n\nAbstract\nIn textbooks and journal articles\, i
 t often seems like the authors had a clear vision and a plan for how to ap
 proach the problems or like they knew exactly what results they wanted to 
 prove before they even started. They're very organized. But the actual pra
 ctice of doing mathematics is very messy! In this talk\, I will discuss my
  usual research process: ask a weird question\, run some computations\, ge
 t confused\, and then repeat as necessary until reaching that beautiful "a
 ha!" moment that we're all searching for. I will include real examples of 
 how this has played out in my research projects with Brooklyn College stud
 ents.\n
