| Aug 28, 2021 at 12:21 | comment | added | Stephen McKean | @YCor I agree, but I don’t expect any survey of opinions on journals to be valid for 20 years anyway. I have no idea how frequently one would want to update such a survey though | |

| Aug 28, 2021 at 10:31 | comment | added | YCor | One problem with any attempt to split mathematics into fixed areas is that a reasonably good classification at some time can become awkward 20 years later. | |
| Aug 28, 2021 at 1:34 | comment | added | Willie Wong | Conveniently, the NSF Division of Mathematical Sciences has exactly 11 disciplinary research programs. If you exclude statistics (which is often a different department) , that brings it down to 10. nsf.gov/funding/programs.jsp?org=DMS | |

| Jul 28, 2021 at 21:13 | comment | added | Gerald Edgar | @SamHopkins ... In large universities: statistics is often a separate department from math, whereas probability is (a small) part of the math department. | |
| Jul 28, 2021 at 21:10 | comment | added | Stephen McKean | And that post on specialized journals was actually the motivation for adding a subject filtering feature. | |
| Jul 28, 2021 at 21:08 | comment | added | Stephen McKean | @SamHopkins I agree, but I’m far enough removed from those areas that I didn’t know whether that was just my ignorance. | |
| Jul 28, 2021 at 21:06 | comment | added | Sam Hopkins | Btw, you might be interested in this older MO question: mathoverflow.net/questions/3512/top-specialized-journals | |
| Jul 28, 2021 at 21:05 | comment | added | Sam Hopkins | The AMS division seems verrry weird to me. For instance, breaking probability and statistics into two different groups, but grouping discrete math and logic together? | |
