What Is Mathematics?

Mathematics (from Greek μάθημα máthēma, “knowledge, study, learning”) is the abstract study of topics encompassing quantity, structure, space, change, and other properties; it has no generally accepted definition.

Mathematics as a formal area of teaching and learning was developed about 5,000 years ago by the Sumerians. They did this at the same time as they developed reading and writing. However, the roots of mathematics go back much more than 5,000 years.

At a naive level we can describe mathematics as a language that expresses relationships. This includes Logic, Measurement, Algebra, Calculus and Geometry. This language allows us to understand our universe and to solve problems in it.

Mathematics is the abstract study of quantity, structure, space,change,and many other topics It has no generally accepted definition.

Mathematics is used throughout the world as an essential tool in many fields, including natural science, engineering, medicine, and the social sciences. Applied mathematics, the branch of mathematics concerned with application of mathematical knowledge to other fields, inspires and makes use of new mathematical discoveries, which has led to the development of entirely new mathematical disciplines, such as statistics and game theory. Mathematicians also engage in pure mathematics, or mathematics for its own sake, without having any application in mind. There is no clear line separating pure and applied mathematics, and practical applications for what began as pure mathematics are often discovered

There are two disciplines contained within Mathematics: Logic and Theory. They are separate but interdependent in that Mathematics is useless without both.

Nobody is certain, but Mathematics may have been created even before the first words were spoken by humans.

MATHS IS EVERYWHERE .....IN YOU......IN ME ........IT'S IN THE AIR ......WHAT YOU NEED ARE THE EYES TO SEE IT IN EVERY CREATION OF THE GOD !
