algebra: A branch of mathematics that deals with relationships involving numbers. It involves abstract representations using letters instead of specific numbers. For example, instead of saying “1 + 2 = 3” or “3 – 1 = 2,” you use letters like “a + b = c” or “c – a = b”. These letters can represent any number as long as the values on both sides of the equal sign hold true. Equations with different values on each side of the equal sign are known as algebraic equations.
angle: The measurement (often in degrees) of the space between two intersecting lines or planes at their intersection point.
calculus: The field of mathematics concerned with things that change, such as accumulated quantities and speeds.
mind-boggling: Describing something that appears difficult to comprehend or achieve due to its complexity or scale.
develop: To come into existence naturally or as a result of human action such as production.
engineering: The field that uses mathematics and science to solve practical problems, with practitioners known as engineers.
environmental engineer: Someone who applies science to address ecological issues, ranging from forests to human health.
basic: Something fundamental that serves as the foundation for another concept or idea.
geometry: The mathematical study of shapes, encompassing points, lines, planes, curves, and surfaces. It can also refer to the defined shape of an object, like a spherical geometry.
evidence: (in mathematics) Demonstrating step-by-step that a given statement is correct.
order: The precise arrangement of related items within a sequence.
square: (in mathematics) To multiply a number by itself. For example, 2 squared is 4 and 10 squared is 100. (in geometry) A rectangle with four sides of equal length.
trigonometry: The branch of mathematics that deals with values related to the sides and angles of triangles and other geometric shapes.
