Is mathematics over, or just graduating?

The article discusses the concept of mathematics being over, or rather, graduating. The author argues that the notion of mathematics being a never-ending pursuit of new discoveries is no longer applicable. They suggest that many mathematical problems have been solved, and the field has reached a point where it's more about refining and building upon existing knowledge rather than discovering new concepts. The author cites examples of solved problems, such as Fermat's Last Theorem, and notes that other areas of mathematics, like algebra and geometry, have become more refined and precise. However, some commenters on Hacker News disagree, arguing that mathematics is still a dynamic and evolving field with many open problems and new discoveries waiting to be made.
