What is the most Reddit branch of mathematics?
>>16916956Algebraic topology.
>>16916956Number theory
>>16916956Langlands
>>16916956anything related with combinatronics
>>16916956"googology"
>>16916956Category Theory
>>16916956how many hours you spend everyday thinking abou reddit?
>>16917389Why do you ask?
Calculus
>>16917393yeah no i see more people doing topology
Computer science
>>16916956Fractal geometry. Probably the one field that gets less interesting the more you learn about it so everyone that talks about it is a midwit who's knowledge of the concept stops at "it exists and has some applications I guess. Something Something coastlines."
>>16917391For science
topology>>16917221what a fucking ragebait i almost killed myself
All of "pure" mathematics.I mean in the sense of function and use of the math in question."Pure" category theory is fine if you intend to apply it using functional programming.Infinite categories, and abstraction for the sake of abstraction and "how far can we go with the rules of our language game" in general, is pure Reddit.
>>16917418>the one field that gets less interesting the more you learn about itYou put it perfectly. At least other useless areas remain interesting as you delve into them. Fractal geometry fucking sucks.
>>16917418You have to remember that >>16917552 is just another fractal expression of the filter that mogged you.
>>16917339I agree.
bump
>>16917388>>16917491lmao so many people got filtered
>>16916956graph theory
>What is the most Reddit mathematician?
>>16916956Counting.
>>16917491knowledgeable, but cringe take
>>16921072some retard really made a math iceberg and forgot about arithmetic ke
>>16921072What would "poly-dimensional" topology look like, shit covered dicks for brains?>topology in spaces that somehow have multiple dimensions, i.e. are "gluings" of spaces that have varying dimensions>the study of different dimensional versions of the same object that are "isomorphic" wrt maps>something else
>>16921072Also:>muh AIkys>system entropy deconvolutionMEANINGLESS>irrational pattern functionsMEANINGLESS>one-time pad decryptionIMPOSSIBLE>random sequence extrapolationIMPOSSIBLE
>>16921072you have just described the digestive system
notice how nobody has mentioned algebraic geometry?yeah
>>16921808Someone mentioned the Langlands program, that's like algebraic geometry right?
>>16921072>Hodge ConjectureToo easy. Give me a harder problem.
>>16922015It uses some algebraic geometry out of necessity (like any respectable branch of math), since AG provides the right setting to study various groups and representations. However it doesn't really have anything to do with the things that algebraic geometers care about.In any case, it was a bait post.
>>16922016Collatz.
>>16922439Chatgpt solved that. Next.
>>16922443Proof?
>>16922444In the pudding.
>>16922439>there's an infinite number of numbers>there's an infnite number of powers of 2>the algorithm repeats an infinite number of times until it lands on a power of 2 and then cascades down to 1idk sounds like something that'd be easy to prove with set theory
reddit detangement syndrome: the thread
>>16922501Prove that no number exists for which it enters an infinite loop.
>>16922443>muh aikysno it didn't
>>16922510It is self-evident.
>>16917414Fake STEM field need not apply
>>16917221that's the least reddit branch
>>16916956Set Theory
combinatorics
>>16922501>>16922510There are 3 theoretically possible outcomes>it eventually lands on a power of 2>it eventually lands on a number that was already in its own sequence and thus repeats forever>it grows infinitely
>>16917418this
>>16916956Catastrophe Theory
>>16917491bruh, infty cats have many apps in alggeo
>>16916956Define Reddit
>>16928460the union of all things dumb and gay
>>16917221spbp>oh my heckin ramanujan we proved that the totient function of every perfect sum of divisors of a prime decomposition of this random subset of natural numbers with le heckin beautiful properties is representable as an infinite series that has [math]\pi[/math] in it!>we had to piggyback off of algebraic geometry, complex analysis, finite group theory, and 10 other subfields of mathematics to prove this heckin' awesome quirk chungus theorem that will never ever be used in the aforementioned fields
>>16928475You just described 4chan
>>16924042Based
>>16922439Closest thing to a fucking mind trap. Fuck that problem.
>>16916956Brick Experiment Channel
>>16916956Arithmetic
>>16922623Theoretical computer science is a genuine branch of mathematics, and it's an extremely Reddit one
>>16933333Correction: the new TCS's are reddit mathematicians. The 20th century one's are based. The issue is how faggotized CS got by the mid 2010's.
>>16917398this
>>16917491functional programming itself is reddit
>>16920989Nah dude, Category Theory is super cool and probably a little useful, but some of its top thinkers are constantly showing off that they are a card holding gay race communist in good standing. It's not reddit inherently, but by association to embarrassing people.
>>16928732Lmao
>>16917221nonono, actually number theory is about hanging niggers
>>16936644The only reason why it has these people is because by mathematical standards its still young, and therefore ripe for people seeking quick career advancement. The field itself is just a victim of the usual academic politics.
I'm sorry but, number theory is for people who actually give a fuck about what they're doing, and if you disagree you are literally a fucking robot, do not reply to me.
