Expert summary
Mathematics is the academic discipline which deals with quantities, change, and pattern. Mathematics attempts to draw conclusions based on the use of abstraction and logical reasoning. It is one of the world's oldest academic disciplines and can be traced back into ancient Greece, Egypt, Mesopotamia, India, and. China. The most basic abstraction used in mathematics is that of numbers that are used to represent physical and abstract quantities. The use of numbers became indispensable in civilizations in order to keep track of taxation, commerce, and populations. However, math involves much more than simple counting, it is a dynamic discipline that continues to evolve today much like any other science, discoveries are made and theories are ... Read more
