This is probably a commonly asked question but I felt id ask it. If your studying math and you get really good at the good basics of math, algebra, linear algebra, real analysis, differential equations, PDE's, calculus, trigonometry, etc. etc. I can see a lot of small examples of where it is used. But are there any areas that really require you to understand the whole picture?
For instance, if you were going to build a robot you would need engineering skills etc., there would be parts where you would need math and I can see it being used there, but its clearly not the tool for every job? Or is it?
I realize there's a great many applications for math, but they seem rather large and diverse. Does anyone know of some specific examples or examples of math being used enormously in particular fields.
I just am wondering if someone can expand on more areas where and how its used basically.
