/ˌpjʊə ˌmaθ(ə)ˈmatɪks/,

/ˌpjɔː ˌmaθ(ə)ˈmatɪks/, U.S.

/ˈˌpjʊ(ə)r ˌmæθ(ə)ˈmædɪks/

Forms: see pure adj. and mathematics n.

Origin: Formed within English, by compounding. Etymons: pure adj., mathematics n.

Etymology: < pure adj. + mathematics n.

The branch of mathematics concerned with the behaviour and properties of numbers, functions, and other abstract entities and structures, studied for their intrinsic interest rather than for their application to solving problems in the real world. Contrasted with applied mathematics: cf. mathematics n. 1.
