The study or science of quantities, numbers and numerical relations according to fundamental principles organized around systems of deductive or abstract axioms such as geometry, algebra, trigonometry, calculus, number theory and topology. Mathematics as studied in its "pure" form is concerned with the essence of these systems and their extensions or extrapolation into new areas of discovery.
