We all seem to know what is mathematics, but when it comes to define it we seem to fail completely. A dictionary meaning of mathematics could be a science dealing with study of quantities and their relationships expressed in numbers and other special symbols.Some people describe mathematics more of a language in which every symbol and every combination has precise meaning which can be determined by application of logical rules. This language can be used to describe and analyze any thing in the universes. This tall claim about mathematics will not appear all that far fetched when you consider that all the wonderful things that are done by computers today is are done using computer programs that ultimately use just two symbols that are equivalent ti the numerals 1 and 0 of mathematics.
