One of the core disciplines within science. The major fields within mathematics are algebra, analysis, number theory, topology, geometry, combinatorics, and logic. Math is concerned with structure, space, change, and quantity.
Mathematics requires much rigor for writing proofs. Most people are only introduced to mathematics that does not require such rigor. Mathematics is extremely influential in many fields, and, without it, modern society would not be the same - it would be less advanced.

It is only two weeks into the term that, in a calculus class, a student raises his hand and asks: "Will we ever need this stuff in real life?" The professor gently smiles at him and says: "Of course not - if your real life will consist of flipping hamburgers at MacDonald's!"

The correct form of the Americanism "Math", as a contraction of mathematics (a contraction featuring at least the first and last letter of the two words). The most beautiful thing ever observed by mankind; the physics of bottle caps. I only wish the real universe was as beautiful as the Cartesian plane. People usually claim it has no use because they are too ignorant/stupid to understand it. Uses include everything not involving the study of literature. The ONLY pure science.
I love maths!
I'm sure looking forward to Mr Black's maths class
Zero point nine repeater equals one. That’s some cool maths

Short for mathematics - the logical study of quantity (numbers) and abstract structure (geometry), their operations, properties, applications, and how they all interrelate.
Aside from its incredible value in real-world applications (science, engineering, business, etc.), mathematics is also taught in schools because it's the best system to demonstrate and strengthen the vital concepts of deductive reasoning, objectivity, and abstract thinking.
People who are quick to say they hate math are typically those who had horrible math teachers/curricula in school, and never grasped the basic underlying concepts of math. Other reasons for an individual's poor math skills might include having a short attention span, no confidence to question what isn't understood, and the simple reinforcement by peers that it's OK to remain bad at math. But like a sonet or a piece of sheet music, mathematics reveals its beauty to those who speak its language.

Person #1: "Shhh! Hold on, I'm mathing!!"
Person #2: *confused*
Person #2: "Don't you mean you're doing math!?"
Person #1: "NO!! I'm mathing, so shut up so I can figure this out!!"
Person #2: "Wow, okay then..."
Person #1: "Thanks, now I need to math all over again because you interrupted me! Ugh!!"
Person #2: "But it's simple math, you'll live!"
Person #1: "But mathing is hard!!"
Basically it's used when the person preforming the act of mathematics has an already difficult time doing simple math, making them frustrated and forcing them to explain why "mathing is hard, yo!"
