There are many people confused about what mathematics is. Previously, we have to know it`s types and characters. Mathematics in highschool is different with mathematics in university. Pure mathematics is used in highschool to introduce use to basic mathematics. Apllied mathematics is used in university, mean all things we learnt here will be useful for our occupation.
Character is an abstract value in mathematics, which means mathematics is played in our mind. Object in mathematics is also an abstract value, but is non concrit. There are two ways in abstract, using abstraction and using idealitation. Abtraction means only focus on value, means all we talk about is just it`s value. Idealitation means make an assumption. It consist of definition, asumtion, formula, pattern, ect. All that element cannot be contradiction.
