There's non. It's just a Jewish scheme to redirect grant money to fill their pockets. Topology is illuminati propaganda.

math is for math's sake:
the art of math does not need
the thumbs up or thumbs down
of the pseudos of science
who are the lowly slaves
not the masters of math

>Its fun to play puzzle solving games
>It just has to be done

Really, its because we do know what problems needing to be solved, the maths just uses the process of elimination. Sometimes along the way, new things are discovered and the process branches out in new directions. Its like a old fashioned mine. Dig when you see good rock, follow the veins and hope theres a good deposit along the way. The deeper it goes, the harder the work gets.
