La classification mathématique par matières (Mathematics Subject Classification, avec abréviation MSC), est une classification à plusieurs niveaux établie conjointement par les deux répertoires bibliographiques en mathématiques que sont les Mathematical Reviews (AMS) et le Zentralblatt MATH (EMS, FIZ (de), Springer). Elle est utilisée systématiquement par ces organes bibliographiques, ainsi que tous les journaux et monographies de recherche en mathématiques afin de faciliter l'indexation de ces publications et les recherches bibliographiques. Elle est amendée régulièrement suivant l'évolution des sciences mathématiques et en consultant largement la communauté mathématique : sa dernière révision date de 2020.
Cette classification peut être interrogée,. Elle peut être consultée in extenso par impression,.
La classification est hiérarchique avec 3 niveaux et de multiples renvois (de proximité ou de recouvrement thématiques) entre feuilles terminales (plus de 5 000), sections (380) et rubriques principales (62). Elle couvre l'ensemble des sciences mathématiques, des bases aux applications : fondements, algèbre, géométrie, analyse, probabilité et statistique, informatique et information, applications. Elle compte 65 rubriques de niveau 1, repérées par deux chiffres (les sections le sont par une lettre et les feuilles terminales par deux chiffres. La MSC ne possède qu'une version en anglais. Ses rubriques principales sont les suivantes :
