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 encompasses various branches including arithmetic, algebra, geometry, calculus, and statistics. Mathematics employs symbols and formal methods to analyze patterns, formulate conjectures, and establish truths through deduction and logical reasoning. It plays a critical role in the development of scientific theories and technological advancement, providing the tools for modeling real-world phenomena, solving problems, and making informed decisions based on quantitative analysis.
