1. So first there's the way they are approached in education:
- arithmetic (numbers and their relations)
- algebra (I took in the 8th and 10th grades)
- geometry ( I took in the 9th grade)
- analytical geometry and trigonometry (I took in the 11th grade)
- calculus 1 and 2 (I took in the 12th grade)
- calculus 3 (series, summations) and differential equations (I took first year of college)
- My step-daughters have taken math courses I haven't: finite math and statistics.
- I remember hearing about number theory in high school, which speaks patterns and tricks among numbers (prime numbers, how to tell if a number is divisible by 3 or 6, etc...)
- Linear Algebra (matrix algebra, vector spaces)
- Abstract Algebra (group theory, ring theory)
- Complex Analysis (doing calculus with imaginary numbers)
- Topology, Differential geometry (this is geometry stuff on steroids)
- Set theory

4. So here's my attempt to organize math in my own way.
I. Quantities and Their Relationships
- arithmetic
- number theory
- set theory and logic
- probability, statistics, combinatorics (finite)
- series and summations (infinites)
- analysis (change: differential and integral calculus, complex analysis)
- geometry
- analytical geometry
- trigonometry
- differential geometry
- topology
- algebra
- linear algebra (including matrix algebra)
- abstract algebra (group theory, ring theory)
- differential equations
- numerical analysis
