🧵 Discussion: What field of Mathematics would you choose to master?
Anonymous at Sat, 18 Jan 2025 23:02:30 UTC No. 16555703
As well all know math is extremely broad, nevertheless as the saying goes "Jack of all trades, master of none" what fields would you choose to become very advanced in, and why?
As a side question what would you say are the fields that are there just to bait midwits into a fruitless rabbit hole?

Basically any field that has lots of integers and algorithms. If the field is just words and variables that means it's a fruitless rabbit hole.

Topology with fields.
Geometry > Algebra > Trigonometry > Calculus > Discrete > Pure > Topology & Applied

Probably abstract algebra/category theory
It just feels like there's something hidden interconnecting everything

Get educated in Pseudo Random Number Generators and win lottery.

why pseudo-random?

logic.
prove me x.

a computer don't make up random number, he fakes it with mathematics. Both human and computer are not able to be perfectly random naturally, one is sensible to extern output and one fakes it. they are so "pseudo-random". By studying the way a computer generate so called random nummbers you may be able to predict it

yeh, I know it is..
Also, true-random generators based on natural randomness like noise, exists.
Although, they all aren't a flat distribution curve over the range and need fiddling.
