4 unusual facts about Mathematics Subject Classification


Algebraic combinatorics

This period is reflected in the area 05E, Algebraic combinatorics, of the AMS Mathematics Subject Classification, introduced in 1991.

Semifield

In ring theory, combinatorics, functional analysis, and theoretical computer science, a semifield is a semiring (MSC 16Y60) (S,+,·) in which all elements have a multiplicative inverse.

In projective geometry and finite geometry (MSC 51A, 51E, 12K10), a semifield is the analogue of a division algebra, but defined over the integers Z rather than over a field.

Whitehead product

The relevant MSC code is: 55Q15, Whitehead products and generalizations.
