is topology the most advanced type of mathematics? if not, what is?

Depends on what you mean with advanced. If advanced means novelty, then probably IUTeich is the most advanced (assuming it is consistent and shit), but advanced could mean abstraction, and then it'd be the most abstract parts of category theory, etc. Topology is advanced in the sense that topologists were somewhat forced to find a way to flank their field's problems that were too hard for them, this then gave birth to algebraic topology.

Honestly, philosophy is. Nothing's harder than finding the actual meaning behind all the abstract symbol diddling. When mathematicians learn everything about traditional maths, they move on to become philosophy majors.

>>8392279

don't be silly, I said symbolically parsimonious, and it is perfectly acceptable in that context, for example occham's razor is know in latin as lex parsimoniae, which translates as law of parsimony. I am perfectly free to use it in its figurative sense. It can be used to describe more than fiscal niggardliness.
