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 involves the study of patterns, structures, and changes, employing symbols and rules for reasoning. The field encompasses various branches, including arithmetic, algebra, geometry, calculus, and statistics, which serve to understand and describe the world quantitatively and qualitatively. Mathematics is fundamental to various fields of science and technology, providing the language and tools for formulating and solving problems.
