Mathematics is the systematic treatment of magnitude, relationships between figures and forms, and relations between quantities expressed symbolically. Mathematics is one of the great gits of God and greatest discoveries of the human race. It has been used to bring about our most important scientific and technological advances. Mathematics works hand in hand with science. Carl Friedrich Gauss referred to mathematics as "the Queen of the Sciences".

Mathematics in quantity deals with numbers. It is used in simple methods such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Numbers used are natural numbers (can mean either an element of the set {1, 2, 3, ...}, or an element of the set {0, 1, 2, 3, ...}, counting numbers, integers (consist of the positive natural numbers (1, 2, 3, …), their negatives (−1, −2, −3, ...) and the number zero), and delves into more complicated areas such as complex numbers.

Using Math on CreationWiki

Main Article: Math help

MediaWiki Math is a feature that allows for the direct rendition of tagged mathematical symbols in an article. With this feature, an editor can make mathematical formulas look far more impressive with the TeX formatting that it provides.

MediaWiki Math is now available on CreationWiki. The recent transfer to a dedicated server enabled the installation of the support software that MediaWiki math requires.
