From WordNet (r) 3.0 (2006) [wn]:

n
  1. a science (or group of related sciences) dealing with the logic of quantity and shape and arrangement
    Synonym(s): mathematics, math, maths
From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Mathematics \Math`e*mat"ics\, n. [F. math[82]matiques, pl., L.
      mathematica, sing., Gr. [?] (sc. [?]) science. See
      {Mathematic}, and {-ics}.]
      That science, or class of sciences, which treats of the exact
      relations existing between quantities or magnitudes, and of
      the methods by which, in accordance with these relations,
      quantities sought are deducible from other quantities known
      or supposed; the science of spatial and quantitative
      relations.
  
      Note: Mathematics embraces three departments, namely: 1.
               {Arithmetic}. 2. {Geometry}, including {Trigonometry}
               and {Conic Sections}. 3. {Analysis}, in which letters
               are used, including {Algebra}, {Analytical Geometry},
               and {Calculus}. Each of these divisions is divided into
               pure or abstract, which considers magnitude or quantity
               abstractly, without relation to matter; and mixed or
               applied, which treats of magnitude as subsisting in
               material bodies, and is consequently interwoven with
               physical considerations.
