Mathematics Subject Classification
Summary
The Mathematics Subject Classification 2020 (MSC2020) is a standardized system used to organize and categorize mathematical literature by subject area. It is maintained jointly by Mathematical Reviews (MR) and zbMATH and is widely used by journals, publishers, researchers, and databases to classify mathematical papers.
The system is hierarchical, using codes such as two-digit, three-digit, and five-digit classifications to represent fields ranging from number theory, algebra, geometry, and analysis to applied mathematics, statistics, computer science, and mathematical education. MSC2020 is an updated version of MSC2010 and helps researchers search, index, and identify relevant mathematical work more efficiently.
