Ask HN: If I work with applied mathematics should I still study analysis?
Is studying analysis helpful for those people who aren't working on proofs every day, i.e. engineers, people in finance, etc, who still need to apply mathematical techniques?
The speculative answer if I had to guess is yes, because understanding the theoretical basis of something can't hurt, but I'd like to get some answers from people who actually work in applied quantitative fields. Has your study of analysis helped you, either directly or indirectly?
