Hi, I'm a student who's currently studying computer science and thinking about a double major in applied math.

I'm fairly interested in applied math, and I'm wondering if there are any Hacker News style forums for applied mathematicians (where people talk about applied math, the various industries that applied mathematicians work in, etc..). I realize that this is kind of vague, but it would be great if people could list some forums that seem to fit the description of hacker news for applied mathematicians.

Hi HN,

I'm a college student who needs to make some money this summer. I've been trying to figure out how to find short-term, contract work. I can work full-time for the next three months, but will have to stop when I return to school.

I unfortunately did not have time to apply for internships during the school year. I've been trying to apply to traditional job postings, but find that most of them want a long-term employee. Are there any good sites out there that focus on hiring developers for short-term, contract work?

I have previous work experience as a developer. I've freelanced for two companies at about $20-25/hour doing full stack web development. Thanks for any advice on how to find short-term, contract work.

I'm an undergraduate student who's thinking about a double major in computer science and applied math. I'd like to choose a math heavy, high demand computer science area to specialize in. I like the utility and elegance of math, and I'm trying to find a CS area that uses many different branches of math.

I'd also prefer if the area changes relatively slowly compared to other computer science areas (so maybe not security).

I'm currently thinking that graphics or machine learning would be high demand areas that use a lot of math, but I'm looking for more suggestions and advice. Thanks.
