Mathematics is a field of study that discovers and organizes methods, theories, and theorems that are developed and proved either in response to the needs of empirical sciences or the needs of mathematics itself.
Mathematics, the science of structure, order, and relation that has evolved from counting, measuring, and describing the shapes of objects. Mathematics has been an indispensable adjunct to the physical sciences and technology and has assumed a similar role in the life sciences.

Mathematics goes beyond the real world. Yet the real world seems to be ruled by it. Mathematics often looks like a collection of symbols. But Mathematics is not the symbols on the page but what those symbols mean.
Mathematics is the science and study of quality, structure, space, and change. Mathematicians seek out patterns, formulate new conjectures, and establish truth by rigorous deduction from appropriately chosen axioms and definitions.
Accordingly, it is not just ‘What is Mathematics today?’ that we should be answering, but the broader scoped and more fundamental question: ‘Can we find a definition that adequately describes mathematics across the more than 5000 years of its written history?’
I particularly liked the metaphor sent in by Timothy Prescott, “Mathematics is art in the medium of ideas,” because of its beauty and recognition that mathematics is more than science.
