I not the most interested in math so I admit I briefly skimmed the 2 pages of this topic. So, someone may have already suggested this.
Have you ever seen the movie "A Beautiful Mind"? Stars Russell Crowe who plays a schizophrenic math genius named John Nash based on a true story. Though it may be advanced for you now, Nash uses math in ways in which I really can't describe. Here is a quote I found in a brief description of him on nobelprize.org ... John F. Nash Jr.
During this period of time I managed to solve a classical unsolved problem relating to differential geometry which was also of some interest in relation to the geometric questions arising in general relativity. This was the problem to prove the isometric embeddability of abstract Riemannian manifolds in flat (or "Euclidean") spaces. But this problem, although classical, was not much talked about as an outstanding problem. It was not like, for example, the 4-color conjecture.
I remember something from the movie or in a behind the scenes type film that his work has changed how the economics of the world are viewed/done, and other things I cannot remember. Sorry if I'm so vague. Research his work and there is probably enough there for you to spend a life time attempting understanding. He won the Nobel Prize and all that stuff. The movie won best picture at the Academy Awards in like 2001 or so.
That's my two cents!
