Combinatorics people are the smartest
>>8872250
It needs to be combined with something like algebra or geometry since it lacks deep structure on its own. Otherwise you're essentially just working on separate, independent puzzles.
Are there even PhD programs for that?

Combinatorics already has an honest-to-goodness calculus:

>geometry
And combinatorial objects are isomorphic to complex numbers as well, in addition to all the geometric connections you get from categorification:

Ha ha he won a fields medal for his work in combinatorics, what an idiot

lmao what a brainlet
