Humanities

Humanities

Humanities are academic disciplines that study aspects of human society and culture. In the Renaissance, the term contrasted with divinity and referred to what is now called classics, the main area of secular study in universities at the time. Today, the humanities are more frequently contrasted with natural, and sometimes social, sciences as well as professional training.
The humanities use methods that are primarily critical, or speculative, and have a significant historical element as distinguished from the mainly empirical approaches of the natural sciences, yet, unlike the sciences, it has no central discipline. The humanities include ancient and modern languages, literature, philosophy, history, human geography, law, politics, religion, and art. Scholars in the humanities are "humanity scholars" or humanists. The term "humanist" also describes the philosophical position of humanism, which some "antihumanist" scholars in the humanities reject. The Renaissance scholars and artists were also called humanists. Some secondary schools offer humanities classes usually consisting of literature, global studies and art.
Human disciplines like history and cultural anthropology study subject matters that the manipulative experimental method does not apply to—and instead mainly use the comparative method and comparative research.

About Bengali

"Rhythm is our universal mother tongue. It's the language of the soul."

~Gabriell Roth

The word mathematics comes from the Greek μάθημα (máthēma), which in the ancient Greek language means "that which is learnt", "what one gets to know", and in modern Greek just "lesson".The earliest uses of mathematics were in trading, land measurement, painting and weaving patterns and the recording of time. Aristotle defined mathematics as "the science of quantity", and this definition prevailed until the 18th century. From the start of the 19th century the study of mathematics increased in rigor and diverted into many direction such as abstract, computational etc. C. F.
