Mathematics is the study of numbers, shapes, quantities, and patterns. Mathematics is the ‘queen of all sciences and its presence is there in all the subjects. It acts as the basis and structure of other subjects.

According to Bacon, ‘‘Mathematics is the gateway and key to all sciences.’’ 

Science and mathematics

• Perhaps mathematics and science share the closest relationship. There is no branch of science that does not use mathematics
• Science and mathematics are closely related and thus we say science is incomplete without mathematics.
• Most of the concepts have evolved from experimentation or observation but have been established as scientific theories by the use of mathematical interpretations
• In every branch of science, mathematics occur in one way or the other in the form of numerals, symbols, formula, computations, etc.  For example in physics, the topics like gravitation, motion, energy, and power, heat and thermodynamics, waves and oscillations, electricity, magnetism, electric current, optics, etc. employ mathematical symbols and calculations.
• In chemistry, the structure of atoms, the laws of chemical combination, elements, and compounds make use of mathematics equations, combinations, and proportions.
• In biology and life sciences a large number topic uses the principles of mathematics. For example, the arrangement of human body structure, measurement of blood pressure, and temperature involve mathematics. It is difficult to enlist all the areas of science where mathematical knowledge is required to understand the concepts.
• In fact, there is hardly any area in all branches of science where mathematics is not needed.

Hence, we can conclude that the above statement is quoted by Bacon
