A Map of Mathematics

Pure mathematics, applied math, and more — all summarized in a single map! Watch the video by physicist and award-winning science writer Dominic Walliman:

Walliman says, “To err is to human, and I human a lot. I always try my best to be as correct as possible, but unfortunately I make mistakes…”

  • Can you find three mistakes in the map?

Check your answers in the description on Walliman’s YouTube page.

If you enjoy this video, you can purchase the poster (or T-shirt, coffee mug, tote bag, etc.) at Red Bubble.

  1. Hi Denise,
    I love seeing the big picture, so I was excited when I found this “Map of Mathematics”. I first saw it on YouTube, then I searched on your blog and found it.
    We are trying to come up with our own posters. We have at least one math wiz at our house and one artistic/visual learner. Thanks for sharing the map here.
