Conferences

• Professor Ravi Vakil maintains a list of conferences: http://math.stanford.edu/~vakil/conferences.html

Softwares

• Dr. Anthony Várilly-Alvarado introduced me MAGMA, and I have found it extremely useful to run all kinds of algebraic geometry computations.

• You may ask your institute for MAGMA license.

• Dr. John Christian Ottem showed me how powerful Macaulay2 could be.

• It is the best engine for exact sequence computation (of course, much more than that) and it's free.

• I use Wolfram Alpha to for simple plot or matrix operation.

• I use Inkscape to draw pictures.

Mathematical Notes and Forums

• Of course, there is always the amazing Mathoverflow!

• I know a little Arithmetic aspect of Algebraic Geometry. However, I found the notes from J.S. Milne and summary from B. Poonen very helpful!

• Stack project is where I review classic concepts from modern angle and learn new concepts in an universal setting.

I am fascinated with different types knowledges! I love reading books about them, but I also take online classes to see what's exactly going on. Till now, I took Statistical Learning, Image and Video Processing, Computational Investment, Modeling Engineered Systems, and etc. This is my way of catching up the world.
