Soft question: Should I learn multivariable calculus, while I want to pursue a career in pure math?

I am interested in pure mathematics. I like more abstract topics like number theory, topology, etc. I would like to know the benefits on learning multivariable calculus in relation to a pure mathematics career. Specifically, should I learn it or not based on my interests and future career in mathematics mentioned? Thank you.

Yes. Yes. Yes.

If you like topology and number theory you'll be likely approaching analytic number theory which uses multivariate calculus all the time. Now, the real question is "am I prepared to learn this? Does it make sense now?"
