I am not a mathematics professional or a student, but rather a lay person with a great interest in math. Personally, my available time to consume mathematics literature, lectures, and video content has increased. I suspect this is true for millions of lay mathematicians. If true, that could lead to:
- An increased interest in the field
- More math content consumed, which could lead to
- More advertising dollars spent on math content, which could ultimately bring
- More funding into the field
And increased funding can change any field.
