MANIFOLDMATHEMATICS

Structure for its own sake

Pure Mathematics

Pure mathematics asks what is true, and why, with no obligation to be useful. Every applied technique on the other branch of this site was once somebody’s pure curiosity.

Areas

What the branch covers

01Algebra

Groups, rings, fields, modules — and the canonical forms that classify a linear map up to similarity.

  • Group theory
  • Ring & field theory
  • Linear algebra
  • Canonical forms
  • Galois theory

02Analysis

Limits made honest. From the completeness of the reals to Lebesgue measure and functional analysis.

  • Real analysis
  • Complex analysis
  • Measure theory
  • Functional analysis
  • Fourier analysis

03Topology & Geometry

What survives bending. Open sets, compactness, manifolds — including the torus in our own mark.

  • Point-set topology
  • Algebraic topology
  • Differential geometry
  • Manifolds
  • Riemannian geometry

04Combinatorics & Discrete

Counting as a theory. Bijections, symmetry, graphs, and the arithmetic of orderings.

  • Enumeration
  • Permutations & combinations
  • Graph theory
  • Order & lattice theory
  • Social choice

05Number Theory

The oldest questions, and the ones still open.

  • Divisibility & congruences
  • Arithmetic functions
  • Diophantine equations
  • Analytic number theory

06Logic & Foundations

What a proof is, what a set is, and what mathematics can decide about itself.

  • Set theory
  • Mathematical logic
  • Proof technique
  • Computability

Inverse Map vs Inverse Function

Monograph Series — Short Note 1

The notation f⁻¹ is overloaded: it names two entirely different objects depending on context, and conflating them leads to real errors. A few pages to fix it permanently.
