What is Mathematics?

Known as the Queen of sciences, Mathematics, perhaps unlike other disciplines has defied definitions. It is the language of science. This book introduces mathematics, as the study of logical structure of patterns and focuses on its distinct aspects like deduction, representation, transformation, beauty and meaning. Using quotidian approaches and stories as metaphors, the book not only explains various mathematical concepts but also its history as well as India's contribution. Written in a lucid style, the book addresses the needs of students of mathematics, teachers, researchers as well as those interested in the subject.
