short for "mathematics". A science taught in schools varying form "basic math" to "calculus" and "statistics". It is known as the study of measurement and properties using numbers and symbols such as < > + = - / and countless others as the work becomes more difficult.

Math is the study of patterns in everything. It can be very useful in its applied forms, but it also has the potential to be abstract beyond practicality.

person 1: dude ms jepson is such a stupid teacher
person 2: i know she is such a MATHS
person 1: dude, she teaches Humanities, not maths
person 2: no man MATHS! mentally affected teachers harassing students!
person 1: oh! ha ha i geddit!

Abstract thinking in its purest forms using numerical objects. Mathematicians and physicists (ie, applied mathematicians) have been proven to be the smartest people in the world; the people who "don't get it" become retarded history majors.
I tried to use the Dirac Delta Function to patch the singularity in the path integral, but LOL it diverges and I failed completely so I had to find a new topoligical metric. Maybe I should have used a contour integral.

A simple but difficult math problem: Place a knight on each square of a 7-by-7 chessboard. Is it possible for each knight to simultaneously make a legal move?
Solution: The board has 49 squares. Without loss of generality, suppose 24 of them are white and 25 are black. Consider the 25 knights resting on black squares. If they were each to make a legal move, they would have to move to 25 distinct white squares. Since there are only 24 white squares available, such a move can't be made.
