That's not what OP said. Is your claim that no field of mathematics is esoteric?

I was simply commenting in reply to the statement, "Any time I see this kind of esoteric research..."

My education in mathematics goes to calculus, and I am aware of the complexities of higher orders of mathematics such as what is used in physics, but I never had considered the field to be "esoteric".
