Mathematics is the body of knowledge centered on concepts such as quantity, structure, space, and change, and also the academic discipline that studies them. Mathematics is the science of pattern, that mathematicians seek out patterns whether found in numbers, space, science, computers, imaginary abstractions or elsewhere. Through the use of abstraction and logical reasoning, mathematics evolved from counting, calculation, measurement, and the systematic study of the shapes and motions of physical objects. Mathematics is used throughout the world in many fields, including natural science, engineering, medicine, and the social sciences such as economics. |
