Mathematics is defined as the science of quantity, measurement, and special relations, originating from Greek terms meaning learning and technique. It encompasses various branches including algebra, geometry, and statistics, while also exploring historical contributions from figures like Srinivasa Ramanujan and Euclid. The document highlights the practical, disciplinary, and cultural values of mathematics, emphasizing its role as a tool for problem-solving and discovery.

1. mathematics

2. The term MATHEMATICS is
derived from two Greek
words ‘manthanein’ which
means learning and ‘techne’
which means an art of
technique. Therefore
mathematics means the art
of learning related to
disciplines.

3. Mathematics is
defined as the
science of quantity,
measurement and
special relations.

4. The area of study is known as the history of mathematics is
primarily an investigation in to origin of discoveries of
mathematics and, to a lesser extent, an investigation in to the
mathematical methods notation of the past.
Chinese mathematics made early contributions including a place
value system .
The origin of mathematical thoughts lie in the concepts of
number and magnitude.
