Which are the newest developments in math? Someone told me Geometric Algebra has been around for a long time but wasn't really useful until some recent theorems.

It really depends on which field you are talking about. I’d say it is very hard to find an area of math that’s completely new , but you will often find existing areas where novel perspectives are driving math forward. Geometric algebra may be a hot topic in some areas, but the ideas of exterior algebra go back more than a century at this point, so is it really new??

Just to humor you though, I think Deep Operator learning is a vastly exciting new field which combines ideas from functional analysis and deep learning in order to do things like solving PDEs.
