Mathematics is an area of knowledge that includes the topics of numbers, formulas and

related structures, shapes and the spaces in which they are contained, and quantities and
their changes. These topics are represented in modern mathematics with the major
[1] [2] [1] [3]
subdisciplines of number theory, algebra, geometry, and analysis, respectively.
There is no general consensus among mathematicians about a common definition for their
academic discipline.
Most mathematical activity involves the discovery of properties of abstract objects and the
use of pure reason to prove them. These objects consist of either abstractions from nature or
—in modern mathematics—entities that are stipulated to have certain properties, called
axioms. A proof consists of a succession of applications of deductive rulesto already
established results. These results include previously proved theorems, axioms, and—in case
of abstraction from nature—some basic properties that are considered true starting points of
[4]
the theory under consideration.
Mathematics is essential in the natural sciences, engineering, medicine, finance, computer
science, and the social sciences. Although mathematics is extensively used for modeling
phenomena, the fundamental truths of mathematics are independent from any scientific
experimentation. Some areas of mathematics, such as statistics and game theory, are
developed in close correlation with their applications and are often grouped under applied
mathematics. Other areas are developed independently from any application (and are
[5][6]
therefore called pure mathematics), but often later find practical applications.
