Mathematics includes many practical results concerning quantity and measure, such as calculations involving numbers, financial accounting, geometric construction of building, astronomical calculations, calendar dating, telling time, engineering, physics, chemistry, etc. but also more abstract issues such as establishing the conditions under which certain kinds of equations and formulas have solutions.

== Numeracy ==
''See also:'' [[Numeracy]]
[[Numeracy]] is the ability to understand, interpret, and use numbers effectively in everyday life. It goes beyond basic arithmetic, encompassing logical reasoning, problem-solving, and the ability to apply mathematical concepts to real-world situations. Whether managing personal finances, interpreting data, or making informed decisions, numeracy is a fundamental skill for modern living.

A mathematical theory is expressed as a set of sentences, called [[axiom]]s. These axioms should be self-consistent, that is, they must not contradict with each other. From these axioms, new results can be derived adhering strictly to mathematical logic. These derived results are called [[theorem]]s. It is important to note that, according to the [[Godel's Incompleteness Theorems]], it is impossible to state a self-consistent set of axioms from which the whole mathematics can be derived.
