Major subdisciplines of modern mathematics include:
- Algebra
- Analysis
- Geometry
- Number Theory

A proof in mathematics consists of:
- A set of axioms or assumptions
- A series of logical deductions from those axioms
- A conclusion that follows from the axioms and deductions

The two categories of objects in modern mathematics are:
- Abstract structures (e.g. groups, rings, fields)
- Geometric objects (e.g. points, vectors, curves)

Some branches of mathematics are often grouped under applied mathematics in areas such as:
- Physics and Engineering
- Computer Science and Information Technology
- Economics and Finance
- Biology and Medicine
