> I'm talking about pure math here

Well the post is "Mathematics for Computer Science" which I don't think anyone considers "pure math". Most of my writing has been in the area of applied mathematics, the closest I've gotten to pure math would be some stuff on measure theory.

So yea, it might be a challenge to self teach something like cluster algebras, but at that level much of the work in the field is academic communication anyway.
