ABSTRACT
One very
difficult task for mathematicians has been to give a comprehensive but precise
definition ofthe subject mathematics. Sometime, seven Fields medalists in
mathematics attempted to define mathematics. One of the striking definitions
they gave is that “mathematics is what mathematicians think it is . That is,
the definition of mathematics depends upon who the practitioners ofthe
discipline are and at least upon the number of different schools of thought
existing in the subject if not on every mathematician. Different schools
ofthought, particularly in philosophy have put forth radically different
definitions. All are controversial. Illustrious scholars have debated this
matter until they were blue in the face, and yet no consensus has been reached
about whether mathematics is a naturalscience, a branch ofthe humanities or an
art.
