👉 Accepted mathematics is grounded in rigorous logical frameworks and axiomatic systems, emphasizing proof-based reasoning and abstract structures. At its core, it relies on set theory (Zermelo-Fraenkel with Choice, ZFC) as the foundation for defining numbers, functions, and relations through sets. Algebra uses group theory, rings, and fields to model symmetry and structure, while calculus and analysis depend on limits, sequences, and infinite series to study change and continuity. Topology explores properties preserved under continuous deformations, and number theory investigates integers and their properties via modular arithmetic. Discrete mathematics, including combinatorics and graph theory, focuses on discrete structures and their counting/arrangement principles. Logic, both propositional and predicate, underpins formal reasoning, while advanced topics like category theory unify disparate areas by studying mathematical structures via morphisms. These disciplines collectively form a cohesive, abstract language for describing patterns, relationships, and transformations across mathematics and its applications.
