Yes I suppose "complex analysis, quantum field theory, and string 
theory" are all quite theoretical non-practical things (from an 
Engineering point of view). I was hoping it would be something like 
complex numbers, that do actually have real world proper practical uses 
(like analysing AC circuits or mechanical vibrations).
