 NATURE OF MATHEMATICS

 Mathematics is an exact science.

 Mathematical knowledge is always clear,logical and systematic
and that may be understood easily.
 Mathematics involves conversion of abstract concepts into
concrete form.
 It is related with each aspects of human life.
 Mathematics is the science of logical reasoning.
 The knowledge of mathematics remains same in the whole
universe,everywhere and everytime. It is not changeable.
 The knowledge of mathematics has no doubt, provides clear
and exact response like yes or no, right or wrong.
 It helps for self-evaluation.

 STRUCTURE

 Sturcture denotes the formation,

arrangement, and articulation of
parts in anything built up by
nature or art.
 Mathematical structure should be
some sort or arrangement,
formation, or result of putting
together of parts.

 SYMBOLISM

 The language for communication

of mathematical ideas is largely in
terms of symbols and words
which everybody cannot
understand.
 There is no popular terminology
for talking about mathematics.

 ABSTRACTNESS

 Mathematics does not deal with

actual objects.
 It cannot be settled by direct
appeal with experiment.
 Infinity is something that we can
never experience the value.
 Most of the mathematical
concepts are such concepts with
concretisation and hence they are
abstract.

 PRECISION

 Mathematics is known as an exact

science because of its precision.
 The only subject which can claim
certainty of results.
 Mathematics can decide whether
or not its conclusions are right.
 Mathematics can verify the
validity of the results and
convince others or its validity
with consistency and objective.

QUANTIFICATION measuring.

The core aspect of quantification

is the unit of measurement.
The units of measurement have
their application in number theory,
geometry,space,time,mass,force
etc.
