Mathematics
Study of quantities
Mathematics is the study of number, quantity, structure, and space through abstract reasoning and logical proof.
At its core, it explores patterns and relationships—from basic arithmetic through algebra, geometry, calculus, and beyond.
Math serves as the language of science and engineering, providing tools to model physical reality.
I was never good at math.
The mathematics of the situation just don't work out means the numbers or logic don't add up.
