Etymology

Ultimately borrowed from Latin mathēmatica (“mathematics”), from Ancient Greek μαθηματικός (mathēmatikós, “fond of learning”), from μάθημα (máthēma, “knowledge, study, learning”). Reinforced by English mathematics and its cognates.

Noun

מָתֵמָטִיקָה • (matemátika) f (singular construct מָתֵמָטִיקַת־‎, plural construct מָתֵמָטִיקַתֵי־‎)

  1. Mathematics.

Usage notes
  • Unlike English mathematics, מתמטיקה is frequently found in its (fairly synonymous) definite form המתמטיקה (hamatemátika, “(the) mathematics”).

Derived terms
