A partial list of possible structures are Measure theory measures , algebraic structure s group mathematics group s, field mathematics field s, etc. , Topology topologies , Metric space metric structures Geometry geometries , Order theory orders , equivalence relation s, differential structure s, and Category category theory categories . Sometimes, a set is endowed with more than one structure simultaneously this enables mathematicians to study it more richly. For example, an order induces a topology. As another example, if a set both has a topology and is a group, and the two structures are related in a certain way, the set becomes a topological group .

Mathematical sciences is a broad term that refers to those academic disciplines that are primarily mathematical in nature but may not be universally considered subfields of mathematics proper. Statistics , for example, is mathematical in its methods but grew out of political arithmetic which merged with inverse probability and grew through applications in the social sciences , some areas of physics and biometrics to become its own separate, though closely allied, field. Computer science , computational science , operations research , cryptology , econometrics , theoretical physics , and actuarial science are other fields that may be considered mathematical sciences.
