A graphical representation of Mathematics as a whole?

466 Views Asked by At

Does a graphical representation of mathematics, its fields and subfields, exist ?

Meaning, for instance a graph where vertexes are fields of mathematics (e.g convex geometry, Lie algebra, Kahler geometry ...) at different scales or something ?

Or maybe by concepts ?

Even if it seems rather difficult, and probably any "decent" graph representing mathematics at a given scale is not quite planar but still, I guess it would be quite interesting to try drawing a "big picture" (actually drawing :) ).

The only thing I know off is some videos online called "The Map of Mathematics", which is nice, but very incomplete and coarse of course.

If I recall correctly I saw this "map" quite some time ago on T. Tao's blog

How about this excellent question on meta which features an interactive graph of MSE.

The direct link to the interactive graph is here.
