litterally the most useless concept as it is not applicable and leads tons of faggots like you to over estimate the capacity of their models

>heteroskedasticity
Memeword used almost exclusively by those who lack practical experience. The central limit theorem is robust against most forms of heteroskedasticity (as a limit theorem should be), and sometimes you can even estimate heteroskedastic parameters using methods such as GLS.
The real concerns are omitted variables, missing data, measurement error, and determination of convergence rates. In contrast, you rarely hear of studies getting challenged on grounds of heteroskedasticity.

Those are theories, not concepts.
I'd say that the most important individual concepts are differentiation, integration, modular congruences, optimisation, regression functions, random walks, binomial trees and maybe martingales.
