Mathematics is the science that deals with the order of shape, size and arrangement. Math is all around us, in everything we do. It is the structure of everything in our daily lives, including mobile devices, computers, software, architecture (ancient and modern), arts, finance, engineering and sports.
Let us work on the acronyms and abbreviations related to math:
