The thing about math is that it isn't a requirement for most things in life, but there are almost zero things that aren't helped by learning math

- dalke 11y agoI believe the question is one of prioritization. More things in life are helped by learning business mathematics than learning K-theory.

For all I know K-theory could be more helpful to a person than business math. I think people were pretty surprised by the impact of eigenvectors in the last 15 years
- dalke 11y agoTrue. But the OP is asking for advice on what to do next. It's hard to take any action on "for all I know". Based on population counts, knowledge of business math is useful to many more people than knowledge of K-theory. While tensors, eigenvectors, etc. are important for my daily life, the are as behind-the-scenes as plumbing, materials engineering, and farming; that is, I benefit from people with that knowledge, though I know almost nothing about them.
