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 includes the study of topics such as arithmetic, algebra, geometry, calculus, and statistics. Mathematics is characterized by the use of symbols and formal systems to represent and solve problems. It is often regarded as the language of science and is fundamental to advancements in technology, economics, and various fields of inquiry. The discipline emphasizes logical reasoning, problem-solving, and the formulation of conjectures and proofs.
