Re: the meaning?
Mathematics may be defined as the subject in which we never know what we are talking about, nor whether what we are saying is true.
Or
Math is the language with which God has written the universe.

Re: the meaning?
Math is a big pain in the butt. Just when you think you understand something, someone gives you a problem with only a slight difference to the ones you've been doing and your stumped again.

In mathematics, you don't understand things. You just get used to them.
90% of mathematicians do not understand 90% of currently published mathematics.
I am willing to wager that over 75% of the new words that appeared were nothing more than spelling errors that caught on.
