anonymous · Answer

There various different branches of matehmatics. The two major ones are Pure Mathematics and Statistical Mathematics. Within Pure Mathematics, there are even more branches. The different classifications is just to segregate them so that it is more specific. It's like you differentiate algebra with calculus and again with differential equation. You even differentiate linear algebra with nonlinear algebra or complex algebra

So what do you think the answer is?
