MIT Sequence:
"MIT's Department of Mathematics' self-definition of 1953 said: 'Mathematics, which most people think of as the science of number, is, in fact, the science of structure and pattern in general. It went on, for another hundred words or so, but that was the opening sentence. This definition of mathematics as 'the science of structure and pattern in general' agrees comfortably with my definition of the word 'structure'-- structure is not a 'thing'-- it is not 'solid'."
