What is
Mathematics?
Siraj Ahmad
MATHEMATICS


Mathematics (from Ancient Greek (máthēma)
'knowledge, study, learning') is an area of knowledge,
which includes the study of such topics as numbers
(arithmetic and number theory), formulas and
related structures (algebra), shapes and spaces in
which they are contained (geometry), and quantities
and their changes (calculus and analysis)
Mathematics is the science of structure, order, and
relation that has evolved from elemental practices of
counting, measuring, and describing the shapes of
objects. It deals with logical reasoning and
quantitative calculation, and its development has
involved an increasing degree of idealization and
abstraction of its subject matter.
HISTORY OF MATHEMATICS
Mathematics is a historical subject. It has been explored
by various mathematicians across the world since
centuries, in different civilizations. Archimedes, from
the BC century is known to be the Father of
Mathematics. He introduced formulas to calculate
surface area and volume of solids. Whereas, Aryabhatt,
born in 476 CE, is known as the Father of Indian
Mathematics.
In the 6th century BC, the study of mathematics began with the
Pythagoreans, as a “demonstrative discipline”. The word
mathematics originated from the Greek word “mathema”, which
means “subject of instruction”.
Another mathematician, named Euclid, introduced the axiom,
postulates, theorems and proofs, which are also used in today’s
mathematics.
History of Mathematics has been an ancient study and is
described by each part of the world, in a varying method. There
were many mathematicians who have given different theories for
many concepts, which we are applying in modern mathematics.
Geometry


Algebra


Number System

Trigonometry




Calculus
These mathematical concepts fall under pure mathematics. These
form the base of mathematics. In our academics we will come across
all these theories and fundamentals to solve questions based on them.
Applied mathematics is another form, where mathematicians,
scientists or technicians use mathematical concepts to solve practical
problems. It describes the professional use of mathematics.
Importance of mathematics
in our daily lives
Mathematics plays a vital role in all aspects of life, whether in
everyday matters such as time tracking, driving, cooking, or jobs
such as accounting, finance, banking, engineering, and software.
These functions require a strong mathematical background, and
scientific experiments by scientists need mathematical techniques
Mathematics helps in analytical thinking. While
solving maths problems, data are collected,
disassembled, and then interconnected to solve them.
Mathematics helps to develop the ability to think.
It helps explain how things work.
It helps to develop wisdom.
It increases the speed of intuition.
It helps to make the child smarter.
Money can be collected in mathematics when used as a profession.
It is important in a constantly evolving world.
It provides the child with an opportunity to get to the world.
MATHEMATICS IN OUR EVERYDAY LIFE
Mathematics is the pillar of organized life for the present day.
Without numbers and mathematical evidence, we cannot
resolve any issues in our daily lives. There are times,
measurements, rates, wages, tenders, discounts, claims,
supplies, jobs, stocks, contracts, taxes, money exchange,
consumption, etc., and in the absence of these sports data, we
have to face confusion and chaos
Thus, mathematics has become the companion of man and his
helper since the beginning of human existence on earth
