Mathematics

Mathematics is the abstract science of number, quantity, and space, either as abstract concepts (pure mathematics), or as applied to other disciplines such as physics and engineering (applied mathematics). It encompasses various fields including arithmetic, geometry, algebra, calculus, and statistics. Mathematics is characterized by the use of symbolic representations and logical reasoning to formulate statements, solve problems, and prove theories. It serves as a foundational framework for analyzing patterns, relationships, and structures through rigorous methodologies. The discipline is essential for understanding and expressing quantitative relationships and is widely used in sciences, technology, finance, and many other areas of human activity.
