What is Mathematics?

Mathematics is a study or a subject that includes numerical, data, shapes,


measurements, structures, and much more on the other aspects of its definition where it
will be used. Although math can be seen everywhere and has a very wide spectrum to
discover that hasn't been explained is used in our daily lives and the pursuit of the basics
that were taught during childhood days such as counting numbers upon reaching the
elementary level the next level of basics such as addition, substruction, division, and
multiplication is implemented to children to know much more than counting numbers.
Math does really make our life systematic and every invention includes math for a
development that requires it, for an instance, you need an answer that is a number, not a
noun from that it could be able to understand different perspectives of mathematics in the
modern world.

Pierce (1870) said that “Mathematics is the science which draws necessary conclusions.”
while Science has a relation to Math where it can give the pure definitive answer or an
estimation that will prove the formula used, and the solution given in a theory scientifically.
Moreover, as Kasner, E. and Newman, J. (1940) state that “it is true; it is paradoxical;
we cannot understand it, and we don't know what it means. But we have proved it, and
therefore we know it is the truth.” Even though ancient philosophers like Plato and
Pythagoras already scrutinized and expressed every depth of it to be simplified and
forming logical sequence in a method of thinking to reasoning which can draw a
conclusion in a greater contribution in the field of Mathematics and Science languages as
they were the influencer of Mathematics, thus for this we also examine and make
hypotheses to conclude the answer precisely in a tactic of logical sequence and
reasoning. Additionally, Pierce (1870) mentioned that “It is the great master key, which
unlocks every door of knowledge, and without which no discovery no discovery which
deserves the name, which is the law and not isolated fact has been or ever can be made.”
every person like me has a significant to learn math even though in my course right now
which is nursing does require a basic knowledge of math, particularly measuring the exact
amount and volume of dosage to be taken by the patient and the fluid that comes along
with the body must be calculated and observed through clinical eye where the number
should be exact and based on the status of the patient otherwise if this wasn’t practiced
malpractice could be a result of deviation to normal. This lesson helps us to figure out
and to be alert to ourselves that is not commit in any unnecessary errors and let to aim
accuracy eventually.

At the end of this essay, I would say that this subject would be a significant help and a
vital discipline in showing our daily tasks easier and helping what revolves around us not
just in the specific course taken for now but in every scenario that is unexpected to happen
by digging deeper into it as it shows a great aid and enables individual to have their own
way from what they had understood and comprehend in equipping it not just in solving
problems but in various aspects of Mathematics. Without Mathematics, the world’s
landscape would be so much different when we applied this since the discovery and the
comforts of our lives in the modern world is only vague.
