MATHEMATICS
CONCEPT OF MATHEMATICS:
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. Since the 17th century, mathematics has been an
indispensable adjunct to the physical sciences and technology, and in more
recent times it has assumed a similar role in the quantitative aspects of the life
sciences.
