Math is the the science that is concerned with numbers and their properties, relations, and operations and with shapes in space and their structure and measurement.
Etymology. The word mathematics comes from Ancient Greek máthēma (μάθημα), meaning "that which is learnt", "what one gets to know", hence also "study" and "science". The word came to have the narrower and more technical meaning of "mathematical study" even in Classical times.
Math is a fundamental part of our daily lives, from counting to measuring to more complex calculations. Using mathematics, we can identify relationships, comprehend patterns, and make future predictions.
The Sumerians were the first civilisation to have developed a counting system. It is a common belief amongst many scientists that some of the oldest and most basic mathematical functions, such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division have been used for over 4,000 years.
But Archimedes is known as the father of mathematics.
