I remember seeing many years ago a fairly dense one page diagram of how most of the major "bits" of mathematic hang together. I can never for the life of me dig it up again. Anyone know what I'm on about / got any pointers?

This may have been what you're thinking of. Sadly I lack a source; it's just been kicking around my miscellaneous images folder.

Thank you! I love the internet :)
So where would categories hang on that graph? Below semigroups?
That's it! Thanks!
…which is reachable from the more memorable http://www.math-atlas.org/
There is one in the book, Mathematics: Form and Function by Saunders Mac Lane (who was one of the creators of category theory).
