Shout out to #mathstodon to say hello. I majored in math at ,#ReedCollege, decades ago now but I do try to keep up now and then. My undergrad thesis was on #KnotTheory (#algebraic #topology). My father was an applied mathematician in aerospace. These days I make a living as a software architect and it is the rare and joyous day when I get to use any bit of math.
