I have come to understand that this site is mostly used by researching mathematicians. I'm a math undergrad, but I have a few questions I'd like to ask researching mathematicians regarding approaching higher mathematics. Would such questions be acceptable?

    $\begingroup$ I think you should rather try math.stackexchange.com. -- While on this site occasionally soft questions are welcomed, it is probably not advisable for a new user to start with a soft question, or even to ask several such questions in quick succession. $\endgroup$

    $\begingroup$ Generally no. But you should have listed your questions here because you're potentially being too non-specific for us to give productive answers. I second Stefan Kohl's comment. $\endgroup$

Mainly: keep in mind that MathOverflow is a "question and answer" forum. Not a "discussion" forum. Not an "opinion" forum.
