About what
mathematics is heavily based on reason. By creating its own language of symbols, mathematics also aims to reduce cultural or contextual influences in the creation of knowledge
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.
Maths, says Bernstein, is a horizontal type of knowledge - new things add to what is already there without replacing them. “Maths is made up of specialised languages like probability, algebra or graphs with which you can describe the world,” says Smith.
