Mathematics (or Math for short, or if you are British, Maths) is best known for being the study of whether things are true or false. It is extremely important in science. Math starts from logic; you can find out yourself how it works but it's similar to saying

>if a equal b, then b equal a

or something. Math education generally involves climbing your way up through arithmetic, (high school) algebra, and then choosing from geometry, calculus, linear algebra, real/complex analysis, number theory, differential geometry and topology, set theory, and other gemmy things I'm forgetting.

Branches of Mathematics[edit | edit source]

Arithmetic[edit | edit source]

The most basic form of math. Deals with numerical operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. You learn this in kindergarten.

Examples[edit | edit source]

1+1=2

54=1

3×5=15

10÷5=2

Algebra[edit | edit source]

Algebra deals with abstract systems and expressions within those. Elementary algebra deals with functions and graphing them, while abstract algebra studies algebraic structures and is a shitload more complicated. You learn elementary algebra in middle school and probably won't touch on abstract algebra unless you're a mathematician.

Examples[edit | edit source]

Geometry[edit | edit source]

Geometry is the study of shapes. You learn the most basic form of this in preschool but you study it more deeply in high school.

Trigonometry[edit | edit source]

Related to geometry, it's the study of the relationships between angles and side lengths, more specifically of right triangles. It uses the functions sine (sin), cosine (cos) and tangent (tan) (the are others, but that's shit nosecant cares about).

Probability and Statistics[edit | edit source]

Probability is the study of how likely things are to happen, and statistics is the study of quantifying what happens. Statistics is where you learn about per capita. You learn about this in high school, though this class is usually optional.

Calculus[edit | edit source]

Calculus is the study of continuous change over time. The two main sub-branches of calculus are differential calculus (the study of rates of change) and integral calculus (the study of the analogs of sums). You usually learn about this in high school or college.

Examples[edit | edit source]

Iff(x)=7x3+3x2+2x1, then f(x)=21x2+6x+2
