The word mathematics“ came from the ancient Greek “μ?θημα” (mathema), meaning “what one gets to know Wikipedia：Mathematics is about the stydy of topics such as quantity(数量),structures（结构）,space（空间） and change. Some think it’s undefinable ——“mathematics is what mathematicians do. ” Classification The Ancient Mathematics The Modern Mathematics Ancient Mathematics The Elementary Mathematics Stage 初等数学时期 Time: Researches into maths before 1637A.D.
