Lie Groups... I signed up for a grad level course in my second year, and had no idea what was going on. Eventually I did my PhD on algebraic combinatorics, which works with Lie Groups quite a lot, but it took years to internalize all the ideas needed to have any intuition at all.

- fooblaster 4y agoAlthough I still don't understand liegroups with significant mathematical rigor, I do think I finally understand why they are used in code for computer vision and state estimation. It took me a shockingly long time to understand why. This paper was the catalyst to me finally grasping some of the details: https://arxiv.org/abs/1812.01537 https://arxiv.org/abs/1812.01537
