Mathematics is the science of spatial and
numerical relationships. The main divisions
of pure mathematics include geometry,
arithmetic, algebra, calculus, and
trigonometry. Mechanics, statistics,
numerical analysis, computing, the
mathematical theories of astronomy,
electricity, optics, thermodynamics, and
atomic studies come under the heading of
applied mathematics.
