<p>thanks for the posts kryptonsa36.</p>
<p>So, in your case, do you imply that the “useful information” you learned in relevant courses don’t help in your research at all? In other words, you could’ve succeeded in your research WITHOUT knowing anything you learned in your relevant classes?</p>
<p>This is an interesting idea, because a professor told me to take say, real analysis before I do some math research with him. Maybe I should just tell him it doesn’t matter, as long as I have perseverance?</p>
