### What Is Math? A Comprehensive Guide to Learning More About It

Mathematicians and scientists have a lot in common. Both are trying to answer some or all of the following questions: What is reality? How does mathematics help us understand the world we live in? And how can science be useful in everyday life?

Mathematicians specialize in objects that seek to find patterns and relationships among numbers, and their relationships to one another. The patterns and relationships that they find are using to solve problems, give solutions to previously unknown problems, or just to find the best way to do something. In doing so, they use mathematical laws to describe the underlying properties of the objects. For instance, if you want to know how much material a car needs to carry from point A to point B, you would use mathematics to show that the distance is equal to the time it takes for the car to boil its tires.

Many of the problems mathematicians are called upon to solve are based on notions of sets. Sets are collections of things that can be put together into larger entities. We are all familiar with the concepts of sets, like the Fibonacci numbers or the Theory of Multiplying numbers. Arithmetic, which is used to perform arithmetic on a computer, is one branch of mathematics that falls under the branches of set theory. Most math teachers begin their lessons with discrete mathematics, because it is so closely related to natural science. Discrete math deals with dealing with small sets, and even primes.

Two other branches of math are applied math and computer science. Applied mathematics seeks to answer specific questions in science. For example, if you want to know how many quarts of milk are in a gallon of water, you would use applied math. Of course, computer science is also concerned with numerical calculations. These types of math can also be very closely connected with applied math.

Geometry is a part of physics that many students enjoy studying. Geometry deals with the arrangement of the objects. Geometric math, which can also be very closely related to calculus, deals with the solutions of the equations that form the geometrical shapes. Both of these branches of math are necessary for a student to learn physics, but they have different focuses. Students in physics should concentrate more on real world issues, while those in geometry will spend most of their time working with the math problems in the physical world.

Algebra is a part of pure mathematics. Pure math focuses on measurement, addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Algebra is used in chemistry, engineering, calculus, and physics. While it is not used in every course, those who choose to major in algebra will need to know certain aspects of it, such as properties of geometric figures, algebraic equations, and algebraic functions.

Number theory is the most important aspect of all math courses. The purpose of number theory is to describe the arrangement of numbers in space so that we can create an ordered sequence of numbers that makes sense. It is one of the more difficult aspects of math and is taught only to advanced students in graduate school. Some students become frustrated in the area of number theory because it can be very intricate and unfamiliar for the average person. Students who are able to grasp this part of math are usually ready to enter college. In fact, the subject of number theory is required by every graduate program in the U.S. in order to earn a Ph.D. or Master’s degree.

Although math is not widely regarded as a science, it is a very important part of science, technology, and math curriculum. Practicing math in the natural sciences is helpful in learning how patterns and events occur. For example, the study of flower colors can provide clues about the growth habits of plants, and the evolution of species. Math skills can also be applied in the physical sciences, such as in the study of the solar system, the universe, and the earth. Understanding math concepts through natural science experiences helps children learn the same concepts independently in the future.
