• EXPONENTIAL GROWTH OF MATHEMATICAL SCIENCES: AN ANALYSIS

Abstract

It is well known that mathematics is the oldest of all sciences and its evolutionary stages are related to the different stages of creativity of civilization. Mathematics has covered a long path right from the primitive process of counting to the abstract axiomatic method of modern times. It is constantly expanding into new areas of investigation and has been instrumental for the development of physical, biological, social and other sciences. Scholars have been endeavouring in the past to locate as to how and at which rate did mathematics grow and develop? It still requires further elaboration. The present paper is an attempt in this direction.
