What is your favorite field of math?

[gravenewworld]

Just curious as to what everyone's specialty is on here. Personally, I love algebra (to be very general) and logic. I head for the hills whenever I start to see a lot of integrals and summations, i.e. I dislike analysis a lot.

hm..There are three votes and each is 50%?

Well, discrete mathematics includes logic and number theory. And why isn't calculus a choice?

I voted for algebra and other (calculus).

I voted for algebra and other (calculus).

I only had 10 spots so I couldn't cover all the subfields of each major branch (gasp! possible use of pigeonhole principle here?) , which is why I have the other category. I just put down what came to mind first. Analysis covers calculus if I am not mistaken.

It's a multiple choice poll. If everybody selected every option, then every branch would show up as having 100% of the votes.

calculus is part of analysis

Thanks, this I did not know.

Tensor calculus is fascinating. In specific - application to the Navier-Stokes & fluid equations of motion.

All that math in the books by the https://www.amazon.com/dp/0444860177/?tag=pfamazon01-20.

Who has the other 'other' vote? We know the first is just a vote for analysis, but the other is a mystery at the moment.

gee I am so specialized, my favorite topic, algebraic geometry, does not appear.

hmm... numerology?

 

[Pythagorean]

analysis, algebra, logic, and geometry

edit: and I must say, I'm not suprised analysis is winning.
