Math (short for mathematics) is the study of numbers, shapes, patterns, and logical relationships. It gives us a way to measure, calculate, and understand the world.

Arithmetic → basic operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, division.

Algebra → using symbols and letters to represent unknowns and solve problems.

Geometry → shapes, sizes, space, and positions.

Trigonometry → relationships in triangles.

Calculus → change, motion, and rates.

Statistics & Probability → data, chance, and predictions.

In short: math is the language of logic and problem-solving—used in science, technology, nature, and everyday life.
