Areas of Mathematics

October 22, 2013Leave a commentGo to comments


For one of my upcoming talks I am trying to include an exhaustive mindmap showing the different
areas of Mathematics, and somehow, how they relate to each other. Most of the information I am
using has been processed from years of exposure in the field, and a bit of help from Wikipedia.

But I am not entirely happy with what I see: my lack of training in the area of Combinatorics results in
a rather dry treatment of that part of the mindmap, for example. I am afraid that the same could be
told about other parts of the diagram. Any help from the reader to clarify and polish this information
will be very much appreciated.

And as a bonus, I included a   script to generate the diagram with the aid of the tikz libraries.
