What kind of math do you do/study? Can you ELI5 it for a jock?

I honestly feel like my brain is just wired to enjoy stuff that other people generally find boring lol. I’m in consulting/data analysis so a lot of the work I’m going to be doing is statistics related. But what I really love is number theory because it all fits together nicely like a puzzle and you generally only need to know basic math to understand it. I’d recommend checking out Presh Talkwalkar’s YouTube channel if you want to check out the kinds of problems that I enjoy.

now could u ELI5 to me how to become a jock.

You never know if the hole that runs through your soul forever and ever could be filled today with a stack of iron plates and a steel bar to mount them, several miles of tarmac or trail under your feet, or the no-mind that accompanies your 200th repetition of any given movement. The hole will probably remain, but infinities can become smaller as I’m sure you know
