I realize this might be a little bit of academic advisement, but I think it'd be more useful to have some people who really know a lot about the subject post about this. I like math a lot, and specifically I was wondering about number theory or set theory and logic, which is interesting but I'm not interested enough in it to really try hard to master it. I'm not actually sure what field of mathematics or mathematical physics I'd like to do, but the mathematics I enjoy learning about tend to be in geometry and topology and such.
Really, if anyone could, I'd like to know what types of mathematics I could study in my spare time to better understand 'beyond the standard model' theories in mathematical physics. Of course I'll study what I like to, but I'd love to actually be able to understand sometime the actual mechanics of what goes on in these nutty theories like LQG, string theory, field theories and all of that.
Thanks.
