I think number theory is the most beautiful subject in mathematics. It is the most applied part of mathematics in the sense that super-crazy-brilliant mathematicians have applied all sorts of techniques to understand numbers.
Q. Why do we use a symbol to represent pi?
According to Live Science, the Pi symbol is meant to represent the idea of Pi as it pertains to a river. So the symbol itself is showing the straight line connection between two bends in a river, which is actually pretty cool — and that connecting line is also showing the diameter.

Q. Why did William Jones use the pi symbol?
In 1706 a little-known mathematics teacher named William Jones first used a symbol to represent the platonic concept of pi, an ideal that in numerical terms can be approached, but never reached. Consequently, a symbol was required to represent an ideal that can be approached but never reached. …
Q. What is the highest level of mathematics?
The official titles of the course are Honors Abstract Algebra (Math 55a) and Honors Real and Complex Analysis (Math 55b). Previously, the official title was Honors Advanced Calculus and Linear Algebra.
Q. What is the most important branch of mathematics?
Calculus is also used for description of thermal and fluid systems. Probability and Statistics used heavily in actuarial evaluation of potential outcomes and weather prediction. The most important branch of mathematics is the one that is useful for the application at hand.
Q. What are the three branches of mathematics?
