Mathematics is the study of numbers, shapes, patterns and relationships. It helps us understand, describe and predict the behavior of the physical world. It is useful for everyday activities like timekeeping and doing taxes but also has deeper applications in many fields like science, economics, business, finance, engineering, weather forecasting. . . the list goes on. The power of mathematics is that it is the only way to make sense of a universe of infinite complexity. Math helps us to solve real world problems and make logical decisions. Mathematics has many subfields. Some like arithmetic, algebra and geometry are studied by schoolchildren all over the world. Others are more arcane like ergodic theory and operations research and are mostly handled by specialists. We trust that our quizzes will help you get more acquainted with and develop a deeper appreciation for this great subject.
