  The purpose of this essay is to bring out the unique role of Mathematics in
providing a base to the diverse sciences which conform to its rigid structure.
Of these the physical and economic sciences are so intimately linked with
mathematics, that they have become almost a part of its structure under the
generic title of Applied Mathematics. But with the progress of time, more and
more branches of Science are getting quantified and coming under its ambit. And
once a branch of science gets articulated into a mathematical structure, the
process goes beyond mere classification and arrangement, and becomes eligible
as a candidate for enjoying its predictive powers! Indeed it is this single
property of Mathematics which gives it the capacity to predict the nature of
evolution in time of the said branch of science. This has been well verified in
the domain of physical sciences, but now even biological sciences are slowly
feeling its strength, and the list is expanding.
