incidentally it's the same thing they'll say even after receiving their pure math degree

If I had a dollar for every undergrad that has actually said this, I wouldn't be making 300k at any job I wanted
that's why you go for a PhD
>any job I want
>300k starting
Shit graduates say.
>I wish I could afford to sustain even a simple lifestyle but unfortunately I am several thousand dollars in debt and I can barely afford food, much less my electricity bill
>I don't like living but I don't want to die
shit undergraduates say:
"that's why you go for phd. any job i want, 300k starting"
you know, i would never commit sudoku now but i've always thought that if there had been a software install process for being born such that i had to click "OK" and accept life's EULA etc. before continuing that i would've clicked cancel without hesitation, at least knowing what i know now.
>i'm a faggot
>I love real analysis, it's the height of mathematics!
>(Cauchy/Erdös/Tao/Newton) is the greatest mathematician in history!
>I'm interested in... uh... I can calculate lots of integrals!!
integrals are more useful than the jerk-off crap you do though
>Real analysis is the hardest math class
They actually say this.
>thinking I care about utility
Bitch I'm as useless as a poet. I know this and do not try to convince people otherwise.
yes everyone knows that engineers spend their days solving difficult integrals
>I want to be a professor when I finish
Don't we all chum
No one comes close to Grothendieck though
Have fun with your outdated set-theoretical framework, gramps. Nothing you do will be relevant in 30 years.
Beginning of freshman year

Poincare, Hilbert
Underrated post
what about Mochizuki
>>I'm interested in mathematical logic.
That's me in freshman year. Doing a PhD in it now, u mad?
Weil, Cartan, and Serre don't get enough love either. Any fan of Grothendieck ought to hold them in high regard, too.
Them and Kolmogorov
Grothedieck is a wildly overrated narrow specialist in highly specific abstract algebraic branches.
Loved mostly for his non-scientific contributions, just like your pop-sci heroes.

Society is a spook
it's only a maymay, muy friendo.
>Don't we all chum
Not even remotely.
This. It's like the only sane response to such a broken world is total sociopathic self-advancement.
Only to find out that the sociopaths are actually running the asylum
They make stupid threads about shit undergrads say.
>this makes sense
Fucking this
>Grothedieck is a wildly overrated narrow specialist in highly specific abstract algebraic branches.
He was a specialist for the most part, but he had such a wide vision for algebraic geometry that it sort of "spilled over" into other areas. He practically invented n-category theory.
