what is maths?

Answer 1

Mathematics is the discipline that deals with concepts such as quantity, structure, space and change. It evolved, through the use of abstraction and logical reasoning, from counting, calculation, measurement and the study of the shapes and motions of physical objects. Mathematicians aim to justify their results by rigorous deduction from axioms and definitions.

Mathematics is used throughout the world in fields such as science, engineering, medicine and economics. These fields both inspire and make use of new discoveries in mathematics. New mathematics is also created for its own sake, without any particular application in view, a common practice in the branch known as pure mathematics.

The word "mathematics" is often abbreviated math in the U.S. and Canada and maths in Britain and many Commonwealth countries.

Answer 3

Mathematics is often defined as the study of topics such as quantity, structure, space, and change. Another view, held by many mathematicians, is that mathematics is the body of knowledge justified by deductive reasoning, starting from axioms and definitions.

Practical mathematics, in nearly every society, is used for such purposes as accounting, measuring land, or predicting astronomical events. Mathematical discovery or research often involves discovering and cataloging patterns, without regard for application. The remarkable fact that the "purest" mathematics often turns out to have practical applications is what Eugene Wigner has called "the unreasonable effectiveness of mathematics." Today, the natural sciences, engineering, economics, and medicine depend heavily on new mathematical discoveries.

The word "mathematics" comes from the Greek μάθημα (máthema) meaning "science, knowledge, or learning" and μαθηματικός (mathematikós) meaning "fond of learning". It is often abbreviated maths in Commonwealth English and math in American English.

Answer 4

First of all, math stands for mathematics, and it has no plural form (ie. maths). It is, I suppose, the study of numbers, and formulas, calculations, equations, etc. There are many different types of math, so this question is too broad to get a clear answer from anyone.

Answer 6

Nobody kows what's maths. All the great mathematicians and scientists have tried to know what's maths but no one has ever been able to know it because every great mathematician adds new concepts in maths. It's never been complete.
