jsdkhsdkjdksjdkjdsk Mathematics is a field of knowledge concerned with

abstract concepts such as numbers, geometric shapes, sets, functions, and


probabilities. It uses logical reasoning and proof to study and establish their
properties, often expressed as theorems, formulas, and equations.
Mathematics is used to model and solve problems in science, engineering,
technology, economics, and everyday life.

There are many areas of mathematics, including number theory (the study of
integers and their properties), algebra (the study of operations and the
structures they form), geometry (the study of shapes and spaces that
contain them), analysis (the study of approximating continuous changes),
and set theory (presently used as a foundation for all mathematics).

Mathematics involves the description and manipulation of abstract objects


that are either abstractions from nature or purely abstract entities that are
stipulated to have certain properties, called axioms. Mathematics uses pure
reason to prove the properties of objects through proofs, which consist of a
succession of applications of deductive rules to already established results.
These results, called theorems, include previously proved theorems, axioms,
and—in case of abstraction from nature—some basic properties that are
considered true starting points of the theory under consideration. [3]

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 of any scientific experimentation. Some areas
of mathematics, such as 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 but often find
practical applications later.[4][5]

Mathematical written records first appeared in Ancient Egypt and


Mesopotamia, but the concept of proof and its associated mathematical rigor
began in Ancient Greek mathematics, exemplified in Euclid's Elements.[6]
Mathematics was primarily divided into geometry and arithmetic until the
16th and 17th centuries, when algebra[a] and infinitesimal calculus evolved
into new fields. Since then, the interaction between
