What is a Mathematical Problem

First of all we have to understand what is a mathematical problem.

It is typically a string which seek for more processing.

Like
      If  x+y=3 and x-y=1 then x=? y=?

Solving this problem means process this string/pattern till all questions resolved [ i.e Remove ? in this case ]

So basically  mathematics  is a mapping from set of Problem statement  A[say] to a set Of Solution B [say] under the Rule(s) S.

Thus,
Mathematical problem  M(say) | A---->B
                                                      S
Or         M | (AS) ---- > B
