It simply <em>never</em> comes up. However PDE's are a part of mathematics, a big one at that. Therefore this disproves your equation (I'm a number theorist and in honesty I do find the equation mathematics = number theory borderline offensive).</p> http://mathoverflow.net/questions/26331/to-what-extent-is-it-true-that-number-theory-mathematics/109322#109322 Comment by blabla blabla 2012-10-10T23:24:22Z 2012-10-10T23:24:22Z I'm glad to be corrected!
