Your favorite branch of mathematics

Hey everyone! I'm kind of a newbie to the whole math scene, and I was just wondering: what's your favorite branch of mathematics, and what is it about that particular branch that captivates you? I'm trying to dive deeper into math and figure out what really excites people about it. Any insights or recommendations on where to start would be awesome! Thanks a bunch!

1. This is the wrong forum for this question. This forum is for math questions specifically.

2. My favorite branch of mathematics is geometry.

3. I like geometric shapes, and applications.

4. For me, the challenge of solving for x is what makes math interestingly fun.

5. Math is connected to music notation. As a guitarist and arranger of scores, knowing basic math and fractions comes in handy.

Hi JavierFrancis,

Welcome to the forum. I think your question is perfectly correct here. We don't just help with problem questions.

What I like is when two areas of maths lead to the same result independently.  For example, basic rules for when a triangle can be drawn and when the sides don't meet is mirrored in the sine and cosine rules.

If you head over to our 'sister' site, mathsisfun.com you'll find loads of excellent (not mine) pages that will show you  many maths topics. They're cross linked so you can begin a journey and let the pages take you to interesting places.

I thought this forum was specifically for math problems. Your website is divided into several forums. I thought we solve math problems here.
