Mathematics is a little difficult to define once it is really huge and there are many ways to define it but in a simple way Mathematics is a cience that studies parterns. With mathematics we can analyze the world and understand the paterns and translate it into numbers. For example, imagine you have a lot of apples, than a mathematician arives and translate it into numbers and says you have 20 apples. Now you understand the fact you have apples in a different way, the way math does, through numbers. This is just a simple example. Mathematics is present all around us. To build a plane, an iphone, a house or a website you need some knowledge in mathematics.
