mathematics
Science of structure, order, and relation that has evolved from counting, measuring, and describing the shapes of objects. It deals with logical reasoning and quantitative calculation. Since the 17th century it has been an indispensable adjunct to the physical sciences and technology, to the extent that it is considered the underlying language of science.
Among the principal branches of mathematics are algebra, analysis, arithmetic, combinatorics, Euclidean and non-Euclidean geometries, game theory, number theory, numerical analysis, optimization, probability, set theory, statistics, topology, and trigonometry.

This list is not all inclusive but it will catch most of the major branches of math...
Algebra
Geometry
Trigonometry
Calculus
Statistics
Chaos Theory
Fractals
There are a lot of subsets of math under each of these broad groups and some of the math overlaps from group to group.
Hopefully I didn't miss anything big and I hope that this helps. :)
