What is Math?

Math is the Science of Patterns

Arithmetic and Number Theory: The Pattern of Counting

Geometry: The Pattern of Shapes

Calculus: The Pattern of Motion

Logic: The Pattern of Reasoning

Probability: The Pattern of Chance

Topology: The Pattern of Closeness and Position

Fractal Geometry: Patterns of Self Similarity Found in the Natural World

As we study math, we'll look for, explain, calculate, and explore patterns all around us. We'll learn and practice many ways to write about, calculate, compare, and organize the information we notice as we solve problems and make mathematical connections.
