I've noticed India seems to be full of ring theorists/algebraic geometers. I wonder if that's actually true and, if so, why.

- nasalspirant 2y agoPart of the answer is that research funding in India is predominantly from the public sector, and investments in pure science research have been low for a long time (not that applied sciences are doing much better). Thus many researchers lack the resources for experimental science whereas theoretical study is more accessible.
- xanderlewis 2y agoAh. I was only comparing with other 'pure' disciplines like analysis and topology/geometry, but I guess these are still more strongly connected to applied things.
