I know this is a stupid question, but I don't really know the 'why' of
it being stupid. The question is, "exactly how does one do mathematical
research?"
Stephen is obviously the guy who should be answering this, but I'll just
say that there are a lot of different kinds of research in math. It might
be very applied to a particular scientific problem, or it might be pure
math with no necessary goal of application. One might try to prove
theorems that have yet to be proved (or proved false). One might try to
establish relationships between different mathematical fields. Math is
huge and there is always more to be done.
