I would say that «a mathematical universe» would be more correct here, because they just cover some of the areas; for example searching for «Ramsey» will yield no results; «probability» will yield just one result where an algebraic construction happens to be useful for calculating some probabilities.

I don't know why it is being presented on the news as a catalog of the whole mathematics, when it is designed just a catalog of mathematical objects related to the Langlands Program [1] which is very broad as a mathematical theory (you don't usually find theories touching abstract algebra geometry, number theory and analysis) but of course does not consider all mathematical objects.
