Most mathematicians spend their time studying Sleeper mathematics, writing research papers or participating in various conferences to direct mathematical development in the right direction. Today it's very respected and so taken for granted by everyone in the Technocracy that its existence is almost forgotten. It later diversified as the utility of mathematics became apparent, and different subgroups split off and became their own disciplines (like the Statisticians or the logic-theorists which latter evolved into the Virtual Adepts). Originally it mainly dealt with developing the necessary mathematics for astronomy, helped such giants as Newton, Gauss and Laplace. Its earliest roots can be traced back to the Pythagoreans, although the group mainly developed during the late Renaissance. The group is in fact quite old, among the oldest parts of the Technocracy. They have strong ties to the Statisticians of Iteration X and the Forecasters. They develop new methods for use in the research oriented conventions, control the academic disciplines related to mathematics and constantly research the implications of Sleeper mathematics to avoid possible threats to the paradigm. The mathematical branch of the Void Engineers headed by Dr Hill is little known by the Traditions, but they are a vital part of the Technocracy.
