is the pronoun correct?

To the uninitiated, mathematical theories often seem abstruse and useless. My friends can not fathom how I find them beautiful and beneficial.

Is it ok to refer to theories by using "them" ?

Thanks

Hi,
Grammatically, it is possible that 'them' refers to 'friends'. Perhaps you feel the meaning makes it clear that it is intended to refer to 'theories', in which case you don't need to worry about this possibility.
