Today, the world of mathematics has become very theoretical. there are only a few people in the world who can understand the research that's being done at the cutting edge.
I think besides working on creating mathematical tools that can help solve problems in new ways (sometimes it's not the problem being solved but the way you solve it), thanks to the world of computers kicking in, there are many mathematical challenges today. The world is becoming more and more interdisciplinary and the world of mathematics will find itself intertwined with adjacent scientific fields. This new reality will bring fourth exciting new innovations.
