as far as you know do the average mathematician master all the major branches of mathematics like algebraic geometry,topology, analysis and algebra? or they tend to fuocos one one or two?
You’ll see take courses in all those in undergrad, and also to get a masters degree. For a PhD, you typically have to pass qualifying exams about 2-3 or those. Then after that you’d focus on a particular area.
