What is pure math?
Pure Mathematics is the branch of mathematics that deals only with mathematics and how it works - it is the HOW of mathematics. It is abstracted from the real world and provides the "tool box" of mathematics; it includes things like calculus. Applied mathematics is the branch of mathematics which applies the techniques of Pure Mathematics to the real world - it is the WHERE of mathematics; it includes things like mechanics. Pure Mathematics teaches you HOW to integrate, Applied mathematics teaches you WHERE to use integration.

Where can you learn advanced mathematics?
1. First you need to learn how to learn advanced mathematics. Learning mathematics can be challenging without a good foundation on how to learn mathematics. A good book to read before starting is "How to Learn Advanced Mathematics" by Nicholas DeWaal. (See www.discoveringmath.com) 2. Once you learn how to learn, then all you have to do is begin reading textbooks in advanced mathematics starting first with lower level prerequisites such as basic logic, set theory, linear algebra and calculus. Schaum's outlines of these subject tend to be easier to read. 3. After learning the basics in step (2), you are ready to learn more advanced subjects such as topology, real analysis, number theory, differential equations etc.
Does mathematics lie in physical sciences?
Mathematics is used extensively in the physical sciences, by mathematics itself is not a physical science.
