If so that seems like an opportunity for people who want to work on applied math? There’s a big backlog of techniques that so far have not been useful.

- kcexn 6mo agoAbsolutely! The backlog is enormous though, and much of mathematics requires a great deal of work to understand it to the depth required before a novel application becomes apparent.
- mswphd 6mo agoI've seen this floated as a response to the current anxieties over LLMs in math. Namely in applied math, LLMs being good at pure math may actually allow the import of pure math techniques. Unclear if that will pan out, but it's interesting to consider.
