Lists of mathematics topics cover a variety of topics related to
mathematics. Some of these lists link to hundreds of articles; some link only to a few. The template to the right includes links to alphabetical lists of all mathematical articles. This article brings together the same content organized in a manner better suited for browsing.
Lists cover aspects of basic and advanced mathematics, methodology, mathematical statements, integrals, general concepts, mathematical objects, and reference tables.
They also cover equations named after people, societies, mathematicians, journals, and meta-lists.
The purpose of this list is ''not'' similar to that of the

Number theory
The branch of mathematics deals with the properties and relationships of numbers, especially positive integers.
Number theory is a branch of pure mathematics devoted primarily to the study of the integers and integer-valued functions. German mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss said, "Mathematics is the queen of the sciences—and number theory is the queen of mathematics."
Number theory also studies the natural, or whole, numbers. One of the central concepts in number theory is that of the
prime number, and there are many questions about primes that appear simple but whose resolution continues to elude mathematicians.
