There's a big difference between being one of the only ones in a field because it does not yet exist (i.e. you are founding the field) and because it is exhausted (i.e. all the big results are already proven).
- thaumasiotes 13y agoIt is generally not the case in any area of math that "all the big results are already proven".
- bo1024 13y agoTrue. But, well, for instance, all the finite simple groups are classified. (Not in the sense of the NSA.)
