  2. Babylonian mathematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Babylonian_mathematics

    Babylonian mathematics (also known as Assyro-Babylonian mathematics) [1][2][3][4] is the mathematics developed or practiced by the people of Mesopotamia, as attested by sources mainly surviving from the Old Babylonian period (1830–1531 BC) to the Seleucid from the last three or four centuries BC. With respect to content, there is scarcely any ...

  3. Mathematical object - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_object

    A mathematical object is an abstract concept arising in mathematics. In the usual language of mathematics, an object is anything that has been (or could be) formally defined, and with which one may do deductive reasoning and mathematical proofs. [citation needed] Typically, a mathematical object can be a value that can be assigned to a variable ...

  4. Discrete mathematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discrete_mathematics

    Discrete mathematics is the study of mathematical structures that can be considered "discrete" (in a way analogous to discrete variables, having a bijection with the set of natural numbers) rather than "continuous" (analogously to continuous functions).

  5. Pure mathematics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pure_mathematics

    Pure mathematics is the study of mathematical concepts independently of any application outside mathematics. These concepts may originate in real-world concerns, and the results obtained may later turn out to be useful for practical applications, but pure mathematicians are not primarily motivated by such applications.

  6. Mathematical physics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_physics

    The usage of the term "mathematical physics" is sometimes idiosyncratic. Certain parts of mathematics that initially arose from the development of physics are not, in fact, considered parts of mathematical physics, while other closely related fields are. For example, ordinary differential equations and symplectic geometry are generally viewed ...
