is topology the most retarded brand of mathematics?

>retarded is uhhhhh I just don’t get it bro
Topology is the bread and butter of all kinds of areas of math from algebraic geometry to Lie theory.
>uhhh but like what are the applications, I don’t know those smart words
not my problem

Uh idk, how about formulating a shape with certain properties and characteristics for a very specific application and making an iteration of it that's as efficient as physically possible.

Ex. Microchips, Jet Engines, all of Civil Engineering.

What you’re describing isn’t topology, you mong. For example, aerodynamics is concerned with things like smoothness and cross-sectional area, neither of which have anything to do with topology. Every airfoil is homeomorphic to a sphere.

The principles and theory of it are still applicable.

Yes, but in none of the areas you’re describing. Maybe graph theory in microchip design if we’re stretching it.
