 D efinition of Mathematics
Mathematics is the study of relationships among numbers,
quantities and shapes. It includes arithmetic, algebra,
trigonometry, geometry, statistics and calculus. Mathematics
nurtures human characteristics like power of creativity,
reasoning, critical thinking, spatial thinking ang others. It
provides the opportunity to solve both simple and complex
problems in many real-world contexts using a variety of
strategies.
 D efinition of Mathematics
Mathematics is a universal way to make sense of the world and to
communicate understanding of concepts and rules using the
mathematical symbols, signs, proofs, language and conventions.
Mathematics helps organize patterns and regularities in the world.
The geometry of most patterns in nature can be associated either
directly or indirectly to mathematical numbers. The limit and
extent to which natural patterns adhere to mathematical series
and numbers are amazing. Mathematics helps predict the behavior
of nature and phenomena in the world. It helps control nature and
occurrences in the world for the good of mankind. Mathematics
has become indispensable because of its numerous applications.
P atterns and Numbers in Nature and the World
Patterns in nature are visible regularities found in the natural
world. These patterns persist in different contexts and can be
modelled mathematically. Natural patterns may consist of spirals,
symmetries, mosaics, stripes, spots, etc. The world seems to make
several distinct patterns, evolving various complex steps of
formation but a closer and deeper study reveals that these
patterns have many similarities and resemblances. Plato,
Pythagoras and Empedocles and other early Greek philosophers
studied patterns to explain order in nature which leads to the
modern understanding of visible patterns.
