My thesis advisor recommended his method for keeping track of his references and it worked amazing for me. He would create a spreadsheet where he has columns for the article title, authors, abstract, notes/takeaways/summary written in your own words, citation of this paper. It was really helpful to keep track of my data and references and made looking up things much faster, so I highly recommend this technique
Currently writing my BSc Mathematics dissertation and this has been SO helpful - thank you so much. I am also off to Cambridge for my MPhil in Population Health Sciences (Health Data Science) so hearing tips specifically for master's has been fantastic also :)
thank you so much for this! just wanted to let you know you are so pretty and your hair looks absolutely gorgeous!! im starting my disso in a mathematical finance topic soon and i am super confused already but this has helped a bunch! thank you!!!
Hey Ellie. Wondered if u had any advice for people from non Oxbridge backgrounds at under grad. Currently in my third year at Warwick maths, and have offers from Oxford and Cambridge, but didn’t think I would ever get into either. Is there anything you recommend to help with the “imposter syndrome” effect?
Hey Edward, congratulations, that’s amazing!!! For sure, the imposter syndrome hit me very hard as soon as I got my Oxbridge offers, I wont lie! The important things for me were remembering that you deserve those oxbridge offers; the departments at both institutes clearly thought you were excellent enough to be selected. That in itself is something you should be extremely proud of! I spent too long comparing myself against other people that I didn’t focus on why I was there - I love maths 😂 as soon as I stopped comparing myself to others, I felt a massive weight lifted. There are people at these institutes just as passionate as you are about maths and working with them is such an amazing experience. You worked hard at undergrad and deserve both those offers!! I struggled a lot with imposter syndrome so if you want to message me privately (Instagram is probs best) then please feel free! ☺️
@@EllieSleightholm Thanks for the reply, Ellie! I don't know you but I am proud of you anyway, you've done so well! Have a good weekend! "There is something very admirable about a decent person doing something good with their life." One of my quotes that but I am sure millions of people have and will say that or something similar. Have a glass of wine on me. XXX
Hello! As I only did a masters, I’m not sure on the routine for a PhD student but I know that every maths PhD student I spoke to, loves what they do!!😁
Is it out there yet? I would really love to see it! ❤I’m currently writing my Bachelor thesis (as a german undergraduate). You‘re structure and set up of the document looks very nice and neat. I already worked with latex but never set up a document on my own (just filling the code in…), so this would be super helpful for me :D
@@Amathma-fz7eu yes! I've put a lot of work into making the source code neat with comments so it's easy for people to amend and use for their own dissertation. I've also included my the pdf version of my dissertation, the images that went along with it and a guide to getting started. You can find it here! payhip.com/b/L1V9I Good luck with your Bachelor thesis!! You'll do amazing 🤩
For people asking for the source code of my dissertation, you can find it here! payhip.com/b/L1V9I

Amazing! :)
Thank you for all your advice, I managed to get 86% on my Mathematics Master's thesis!!!

Is it possible for you to show us your dissertation?
ok said it later on the video😖sorry
They’re on my LinkedIn :) www.linkedin.com/in/elliesleightholm
amazing
Do you recommend any tool for keeping a file on literature we read? I currently use notion pages to write small descriptions for each paper
Honestly anything that works for you! I kept mine quite simple and had a word document where I’d just make bullet points for each resource! :)
You would have surely studied John von Neumann's work on hydrodynamics.
For sure 🤩

Can you guide please, what's the whole routine in a day of math phd student, Are they busy or enjoy their life
Hello! As I only did a masters, I’m not sure on the routine for a PhD student but I know that every maths PhD student I spoke to, loves what they do!!😁
@@EllieSleightholm Okay, That's great to know 😄
Which A Levels did you do?
