Obviously, why I said pure in the OP. Can autism levels even be distinguished by field in pure math?
Is something like functional analysis, algebraic topology or ergodic theory less autistic than logic?

>>8692612
Same here, bruv. What have you been reading?

>>8692193
>most autistic
pure category theory

>least autistic
Combinatorics/graph theory

This whole thread gives me a case of the bilby's

From a guy doing pure math, the stuff in your pic are:

Not autistic:
Mathematical Finance, Optimization, Dynamical Systems

Kinda autistic:
Combinatorics, Functional Analysis, Probability, Differential Geometry, PDEs

Legitimately Autistic:
Group theory, Complex Analysis, Number Theory, Algebraic Topology

Turbo-autistic:
Algebraic Geometry, Commutative Algebra

Next-level autistic:
Category theory, Logic

So basically, the more abstract, the less you can impress chicks with it.

Heavily this

(Third still.) Logic and set theory are the only areas of math that excite me. It's just so incredible to think about the foundational crisis, completeness and incompleteness, inaccessible cardinals and consistency, nonstandard models, independence... it's a non-stop thrill ride.

whew

>>8692698
Aren't there some algebraic fields that have applications in science?

>>8692605
Aren't*

>>8692698
It's not really the abstraction that matters, it's how high the entry barrier is. Rigorous probability is quite abstract but not a very autismo subfield.

Combinatorics and PDEs are problem-based so you can start working reasonably quickly if you're clever enough.
Analysis and geometry require a decently long training period to become proficient.
Algebraic geometry requires you to read a large bookshelf worth of foundational material before you can say anything an expert might find interesting.

The more time you're willing to invest in doing abstract, difficult puzzles, the more likely it is you're a huge nerd.

>>8692193
who else mathematical finance here?

>>8692933
Get out jew.

>>8692193

Least: linear algebra
Most: category theory

>>8692698
why is complex analysis autistic? isn't autism related to the level of difficulty or ridiculousness of a field?

>>8692193
Can someone please explain these? I've seen this posted a few times now.

>>8692933
me, in undergrad still...

>>8692870
linear algebra is heavily applicable to all of physics

>>8693283
And computation, and engineering and....
but nice, most people talking about algebra don't include linear ALGEBRA for whatever reason

Yeah sure.

subtle

>>8693595
Martin-Löf type theory

>>8693283
group theory also has a bunch of applications.
