Mathematics

Mathematics
What is Mathematics?

Mathematics is more often than not, considered to be the literal opposite of the arts, due to many reasons. An essential conclusion could be its analytical nature as well as its basis on complete objectivity, relying heavily upon every aspect of its structure being in alignment with one other. However it is not entirely reasonable to assume that the arts and mathematics are completely autonomous, reflecting on the fact that many art-based fields incorporate mathematics so heavily into their operating actions. These include design, architecture, medicine and well as engineering. Mathematics is defined as 'the branch of science concerned with number, quantity, and space, either as abstract ideas (pure mathematics), or applied to physics, engineering and other subjects (applied mathematics)' telling us that its basis is heavily reliant on other subject matters.

Why is Mathematics considered the universal language?

We all speak different languages with different alphabets, sentence structures, background linguistics and application rules, but the concept of mathematics as well as the numbers, symbols and concepts are recognized and understood on an equivalent basis worldwide, regardless of one's spoken language.

Is Mathematics Purely Human-Made, or was it Discovered?


This is a significantly debatable topic matter that has not definite answer, but it is quite interesting to consider whether what we believe we have invented could have existed already and all we did was discover it and begin to apply it to our daily lives as well as international field-applied knowledge systems.
