[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, what is pure math?[/quote] Theoretical (useless) math. Like Euclid and Gauss and Lagrange. [/quote] NP. Euclid wrote Elements (of Geometry). Aside from being a few thousand years old, geometry can have applications. Gauss is known for everything. He invented linear regression to find the lost dwarf planet Ceres! Lagrange is know for Lagrange multipliers and calculus of variations, which are pretty useful. But I think you are referring to number theory. This had no applications until cryptography. I think set theory and logic are pretty useless. Abstract algebra and topology are not applied much. If you are good at pure math, then you can probably pick up some applications and get a job.[/quote]
