    The Meaning of Mathematics

    Mathematics is derived from the ancient word manthanein meaning “to learn”. The
    Greek root mathesis means “knowledge” or its other form mathema meaning science,
    knowledge, or learning, and mathematikós or mathema means “fond of learning”. These might
    have been the notion of the early mathematicians and philosophers that is why they continue to
    seek knowledge and the truth.

    Mathematics may be viewed in different perspectives. In its wildest significance, it is the


    development of all types of formal deductive reasoning. Generally, it is said to be the science of
    calculation. Others view it as a science of numbers and space and others say that it is a science
    of measurement, quantity and magnitude. Locke said “Mathematics is a way to settle in the
    mind of children a habit of reasoning.” It is a discipline investigating “formal structure” (Bernays),
    it is the “science of orders” (Russell), it is the “science of order in progression” (Hamilton).
    Mathematics has been seen also as a logical construct that is based on a lot of axioms of either
    set theory or number theory.

    Mathematics is described in so many ways that fits within the area of human knowledge.
    It has five basic characteristics’ namely: precision, definition, reasoning, coherence and
    purposefulness. They are not independent of each other. It is precise in the sense that
    mathematical statements are clear and unambiguous. It is clear what is known and what is not
    known. Hardy (1941) states that the beauty of mathematics resides in the fact that mathematics
    is all about, not just patterns, but patterns of ideas. Mathematics define as “mathematics is the
    language of science of order, patterns, structure and logical relationships” may be considered.
    Whatever form or way one defines mathematics so long as it becomes meaningful to the user
    then it would be a definition for that user.
