[...] 受到一些评论的鼓励，我最终决定在这里写一些关于如何安排时间的建议。其实，我有这个打算已经一段时间了，可是就我自己的情况而言，这方面也还在做着探索（读者应该看看我等着写的论文排了多少！）而且很多想法未必成熟。（已经有一些经验写在advice on writing papers,比如page on rapid prototyping）而且，我的一些个人经验恐怕也不能对所有人通通适用，因为每个人都有不同的性格类型以及工作状态。欢迎大家把自己的想法啊，经验啊，或者建议在评论中写出来。（其实，即使我自己的经验，我有时候也不能严格的遵照，挺遗憾的。） [...]

[...] 写作业的动机：为学习课程服务，如果只是为了完成任务，不如不写。写作业是一个锻炼writing的好机会，可以借此机会联系数学的表达和latex的使用，更可参见陶的博客On writing。 [...]

I very confused about the behavior of mathematical community. I have worked 15 years in chaos theory and I have published more than 80 papers and 8 books in several international publishers and in each time I seek comments from other specialist, they answred my positively and they never refuse to read may papers. For this time I send a request for comments (for my paper: http://vixra.org/pdf/1210.0176v6.pdf) to more than 800 mathematician arround the world and I receive only 7 replies. The main objective is to see the opinions of experts before sending the paper to a journal. Is the mathematical community behaves like the logistic equation (chaotic). More than this, some of them attack me personaly with very bold words in despite they do not know me.

One of the most useful parts of Hartshorne’s algebraic geometry textbook is its excellent index!

Unfortunately, indices in most textbooks are not nearly so helpful.

Should a. textbook; b. research monograph have a terminology index near the book end? Or is index a waste of space?

Dear Professor Terence Tao:

I have a question on young mathematicians writing reviews for AMS Mathematical Reviews. Even prematurely as a mathematician, when one starts to publish papers in journals, he/she starts being requested to write reviews for some articles and even books. On one hand, the young mathematician is motivated to try hard to write good reviews and hence forced to learn a new sub-field even if it is not completely the field with which he/she is familiar. On the other hand, perhaps he/she should avoid spending time on these things and rather focus on his/her own research which he/she has a lot more to explore? Any feedback will be appreciated.

Thank you.
