What sort of tasks does a mathematician commonly do in their job?

What resources are available to deal with stress from classes?

Sometimes the workload from assignments and frustration from not understanding material can be overwhelming. Are there resources provided to help students during these times or during midterm and finals? #college-stress

How much writing and reading are expected?
