Abstract
The pursuit of knowledge and the use of reason, based on sense and
observation is a key ingredient for research. Mathematics is a creation of human mind
concerned chiefly with ideas, processes and reasoning. In this paper, we will try to give
a new comprehensive definition of mathematics to understand “what is mathematics”.
We will discuss the controversial nature and position of mathematics and its scientific
status. We will highlight the position of mathematics in different civilizations. We will
highlight the mythical issues about Mathematics. We will also discuss the current state
of mathematics i.e. mathematics in crises, especially pure mathematics and will put
forward the remedial suggestions. We have gathered together some of these
impressions; these are all tentative, nothing final about them, but these are here
nonetheless.
