As we know, there are three major branches of mathematics: algebra, geometry, and analysis. The question then is - is understanding one of those branches necessary in understanding another one of those branches? Is it conducive? Is it possible that someone can do analysis on the research level without knowing any abstract algebra at all? Or differential geometry?
Are any of those branches particularly conducive to understanding applied mathematics or statistics or theoretical microeconomics?
