Mathematics is one of the oldest sciences that deal with different logics relating to capacity, shape and arithmetical theorems. Mathematicians work on the representational system solving problems relating to logic, space, transformations and numbers. The ability to count, calculate, and use different systems of mathematics will be different for different individuals.
