Mark-o's definitions
Short for 'mathematics'. Commonly called 'math' by idiotic yanks bastardising a perfectly well made language. Could be classed as the study of numbers, but it's much more. There are many real world uses for maths. A builder uses maths to work out how much flooring he needs in square metres. An accountant uses maths to work out your correct salary based on your hourly rate. The list goes on
"I can use maths to work out how much flooring I need, by multiplying 5 by 5, that's 25 square metres!"
