classification in mathematics
The goal in a branch of mathematics of providing an exhaustive list of some type of mathematical object with no repetitions. For example, the classification of 3-manifolds is one of the outstanding problems in topology. With the advent of computers, one weak but precise way to state a classification problem is to ask whether there is an algorithm to determine whether two given objects are equivalent.
