The Holy Grail of Mathematics?

<p>I have two questions:</p>

<p>(1) In physics we have the theory of everything, marking the end of our amazing journey towards reducing the principles of the universe into a simple conclusion. But is there a similar holy grail in mathematics, marking the grand closing of it?</p>

<p>(2) People refer mathematics as the “Servant of Sciences”, and the “Queen of Science”, I found this rather intriguing and somewhat sarcastic, is Mathematics only a Tool?</p>

<p>Thank you, any valuable insights are valued.</p>

<p>Having studied math as an undergrad (to the extent of taking 6 grad courses) I can’t say I ever felt mathematicians were working towards an end. There are several big conjectures out there that people would like to prove (Millennium problems, Riemann,…) but I don’t think any mathematician will tell you that’s the end. You keep pushing the limits, developing and exploring new theories. Mathematics is expanding like the universe-faster and faster.</p>

<p>And while math is a powerful tool, it’s a beautiful science in itself.</p>
