It's going to very much depend on which field you are interested in. The subject is huge. If you want to study statistics or number theory, you're going to be looking at very different skills and knowledge, with only basically high school maths in common.
- sfriedr 4y agoThat's not quite true, as there are overlaps. To name just one big topic: Pseudorandom number generators. Here you have a (number) theory, including things like finite fields, to generate and understand deterministic numeric sequences, but also a lot of statistical methods tonassess whether these "look" random. Knuth has an entire chspter on these.
