Career advice for mathematicians

I am not a professional mathematician, but here are some pros to take advice from.

The general advice is “work hard, in the right way”; what these elaborate is “the right way”.

• Terry Tao’s career advice
• Steven G. Krantz
• You and your Research, by Richard W. Hamming; the Q&A is also valuable. This is useful for all scientists and engineers.
