Branch

Branch links a mathematical concept to the field of mathematics that studies it. Wikipedia describes set theory as "the branch of mathematical logic that studies sets," a single sentence that both names the concept's field and its parent discipline. This dimension groups concepts that belong to the same branch of mathematics.
