Mathematics is the study of quantity, structure, space and change. It developed, through the use of abstraction and logical reasoning, from counting, calculation, measurement, and the study of the shapes and motions of physical objects.

Math is another name for logic involving numbers. We predefine what numbers mean and what specific operators mean, then we use logic and the rules that we created to solve problems. As we find more answers, we define more and more operations and create theorems about what the answers mean.
