Welcome to Mathematics

Mathematics has been a human endeavor for millennia. It has always been driven by two sources: the intrinsic beauty of numbers, shapes, and structures on the one hand and the necessity to solve practical problems in fields as diverse as atomic physics, computed tomography, and finance on the other.
