Abstract: Abstract The revolutions in mathematics in the nineteenth century paved the way for rapid development and unprecedented expansion in mathematics in the twentieth. Modern mathematics no longer comprises only geometry, algebra, and analysis. Rather, mathematics today is a vast web of interconnected and evolving disciplines and concepts, characterized not only by rigorous logic but also by high abstraction and wide applicability. This indicates the basic division of modern mathematical research into pure mathematics and applied mathematics
