Mathematics

Are there any graphic representations (perhaps similar to charts showing the development and branching of evolving species) of the field(s) of mathematics illustrating the current extent of mathematics and the leading experimental or theoretical edge of mathematics?

Are any of these graphics interactive? Do any provide greater and greater detail (or links) as the viewer zooms in on particular areas of the graphic? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.161.114.75 (talk) 19:54, 28 November 2013 (UTC)
