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!"

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.

Derivatives are some sort of mathness

Math is a subject you learn starting from kindergarten relating to addition, subtraction etc. It gets harder and harder as you grow from kindergarten to high school. It relates to your daily life a lot and also helps you a lot in your future career. A lot of people don’t like math because they are not good at it. But, for most of the time, it is just only because they don’t listen in class, don’t try learning math, and don’t have confidence in themselves. Math is a really good subject, and algebra is certainly the best.
