Summary: Research methodology in mathematics involves a systematic approach to exploring, analyzing, and solving mathematical problems or theories. Unlike experimental sciences, mathematical research is primarily theoretical and deductive, relying on logical reasoning, proofs, and abstract thinking. It typically begins with identifying a problem or conjecture, followed by reviewing existing literature, formulating hypotheses, and constructing rigorous proofs or counterexamples. Students were introduced to general principles to plan and conduct research, develop a research proposal, write a thesis (structure, academic writing, bibliography), publication, ethics and Good Practices in Mathematics.
