What kind of stuff do you learn in your final years of math major

That I wasted my life and you can't do anything with math unless you have the genius mutation and can taste numbers.

we used this book which i wouldn't really recommend

basically applying multivariable calculus to study geometric objects like curves/surfaces

some interesting things with 'ruled surfaces', and frame fields to study curvatures etc.

attempting to scavenge together a thesis, i like geometric things over Q and C, and automorphy
