From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. Mathematics is the study of quantity, structure, space, and change. Mathematicians seek out patterns, formulate new conjectures, and establish truth by rigorous deduction from appropriately chosen axioms and definitions. There is debate over whether mathematical objects such as numbers and points exist naturally or are human creations. The mathematician Benjamin Peirce called mathematics "the science that draws necessary conclusions". Albert Einstein, on the other hand, stated that "as far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain; and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality." Through the use of abstraction and logical reasoning, mathematics evolved from counting, calculation, measurement, and the systematic study of the shapes and motions of physical objects. Practical mathematics has been a human activity for as far back as written records exist. Rigorous arguments first appeared in Greek mathematics, most notably in Euclid's Elements. Mathematics continued to develop, for example in China in 300 BCE, in India in 100 CE, and in Arabia in 800 CE, until the Renaissance, when mathematical innovations interacting with new scientific discoveries led to a rapid increase in the rate of mathematical discovery that continues to the present day. Mathematics is used throughout the world as an essential tool in many fields, including natural science, engineering, medicine, and the social sciences. Applied mathematics, the branch of mathematics concerned with application of mathematical knowledge to other fields, inspires and makes use of new mathematical discoveries and sometimes leads to the development of entirely new mathematical disciplines, such as statistics and game theory. Mathematicians also engage in pure mathematics, or mathematics for its own sake, without having any application in mind, although practical applications for what began as pure mathematics are often discovered.

What is the beauty of mathematics? How do you make students interested in mathematics? (through the its applications, beauty... ...?) I feel that mathematics is like a tree which is deeply rooted in the world. It has two main branches which are numbers and shapes. In addition, it constantly branches out into new areas as time passes. Every branch and leaf is different and unique in its own way. Asked by pole - Mon Nov 26 21:41:29 2007 - - 2 Answers - 1 Comments A. 1)"For starters, we might say that the mathematics is the science of quantity and space. This answer might have been satisfactory four hundred years ago, but today we would say that mathematics is multi-faced: It is the art and science of dealing with deductive(i.e.,"theoremat ic") and algorithmic(i.e., computational) structures that concern themselves with quantity, space, pattern, and arrangement. Mathmatics also deals with the language-like symbolisms that allows us to express and manipulate these concepts. No definition of mathematics is legislated and...this keeps the mathematics fluid. Mathematics lives and is shaped by all who contemplates, speculate on, describe, apply and develop mathematics.

I am doing a research project for math, and I need to know what Einstein did to contribute to the field of mathematics. Asked by baseballfan3030 - Wed Apr 16 16:21:39 2008 - - 5 Answers - 0 Comments A. Einstein didn't contribute a lot to mathematics. He actually wasn't very good at math, and had a lot of help from his wife, who was a physisist, with his math. That's not to say he was bad at math--he was thousands of times better at math than most of us, but his physics for general relativity required some cutting-edge, high powered math that 99.99% of the population does not understand, so he was not as good as some others in the field. But he was much better at visualizing what the math meant, which was his genius. I think that some topology and multi-dimensional non-euclidean geometry is required for general relativity, so I am sure that his theory contributed to these fields of math, but these were developed by others, not by… [cont.] Answered by Jeff - Wed Apr 16 16:40:59 2008 What is the most important branch of Mathematics used by astronomers?
Q. What branch of Mathematics is often used by astronomers when studying the galaxy. And how are they used for? Asked by Engr. Ronald - Mon Dec 21 08:18:18 2009 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments A. Professional astronomers need to be adept at all branches of mathematics in their work. Spherical geometry and trigonometry are used in calculating positions. Newton _invented_ calculus specifically to solve astronomical problems, and it is used in all branches of astronomy. These are only two examples of many. Answered by Geoff G - Mon Dec 21 08:26:31 2009 From Yahoo Answer Search: "mathematics" Mathematics is the body of knowledge centered on concepts such as quantity, structure, space, and change, and the academic discipline which studies them. 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 explore such concepts, aiming to formulate new conjectures and establish their truth by rigorous deduction from appropriately chosen axioms and definitions. ContentsSourced
