You really don't need PDE's and propagation of singularities (just to name an example) in order to do number theory. It simply never 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).
