		Mathematicians are typically interested in finding and describing patterns that may have originally arisen from problems of calculation, but have now been abstracted to become problems of their own.
		From much published research work of mathematicians, it may look as if the primary approach of a mathematician is to start with some given assumptions, often called axioms, and then proceed to prove other ideas (theorems) that follow from the assumptions according to exact rules of logic.
