Mathematics studies concepts like shape, quantity, distance, and arrangement. It involves practices like counting, measuring, and analysing the simple or complex shape of objects in the physical world. Although it doesn’t have a generally accepted definition, it’s not wrong to see Mathematics as the language of the universe or nature, directly impacting everything in existence.

We can divide Mathematics into several branches: Algebra, Arithmetic, Geometry, Trigonometry, Number Theory, Game Theory, Statistics, and others.

During a Mathematics degree, students usually take classes in Calculus, Differential Equations, Mathematical Proof, Algorithms, Mathematical Modelling with Computers, Linear and Abstract Algebra, Complex Analysis, etc.
