Mathematics is the abstract study of topics such as quantity (numbers), structure, space and change. Mathematicians seek out patterns and use them to formulate new conjectures. Mathematicians resolve the truth or falsity of conjectures by mathematical proof. Mathematics is used throughout the world as an essential tool in many fields, including natural science, engineering, medicine, finance and the social sciences. Degrees in Mathematics range from the Bachelor of Science (BSc) to the Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D).
