Bistromathics, see Hitch Hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. Jocularity aside, Fermat’s Last Theorem, others to follow.

The Quintic Equation

Information Theory and how it relates to Bioinformatics and Linguistics.

Chaos Theory and especially its relation to biology.

Game Theory and how it relates to cultural and biological intelligent evolutions.

Dimension Theory and how it relates to Carl Sagan depiction of 4th and 5th Dimension concepts… and yes, Spiritual archetypes and Platonic forms.
