The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- These concepts may originate in real-world concerns, and the results obtained may later turn out to be useful for practical applications, but research is not primarily motivated by such applications.
- Instead, the appeal is attributed to the intellectual challenge and aesthetic beauty of defining new mathematical objects or working out the mathematical consequences of basic principles.
- While the distinction between pure and applied mathematics has existed since at least ancient Greece, the concept was elaborated upon around the year 1900, after the introduction of theories with counter-intuitive properties, and the discovery of apparent paradoxes.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Pure mathematics article was read about 73,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 69 and blocks with 58: each hit it takes is cut by 23 %.
How to get Pure mathematics
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
