Mathematics is a universal language that transcends cultural and linguistic barriers. It is the study of quantity, structure, space, and change. Here are some key areas within mathematics:

  • Algebra is the branch of mathematics concerning the study of the rules of operations and algebraic structures.
  • Geometry is concerned with questions of shape, size, relative position of figures, and the properties of space.
  • Trigonometry deals with the relationships between the lengths of the sides of a triangle and the angles of the triangle.
