So I signed up for a novel workshop, and within a month the first chapter will be due. Problem is I that want to use characters who are well-versed in mathematics, especially group theory or model theory, yet I have no expertise whatsoever in those fields. I know a smattering of those subjects, but how do I give the illusion of realism to the intellect of a mathematician with a PhD? Although my focus is mathematics in this question, it can of course apply to any field such as botany or physics. I could take some courses or do studying on my own, but time is of the essence, as always. Thank you. [Ideally I wanted to ask this in a math.SE]
