Mathematics

Most high school students study several types of mathematics. In college, they
complete additional math courses, some of which prepare them to study even more
kinds of mathematics. You may think of math as one subject; in fact, there are many
kinds of mathematics. This report describes seven kinds.
Arithmetic
Arithmetic is the first branch of mathematics that you studied in elementary and
idle school. It deals with the study of numbers and use of four fundamental
processes:

Addition
Subtraction
Multiplication
Division

Arithmetic is everyday math. You use it daily in your personal affiars, and
arithmetic is the basis for most other branches of mathematics.
Algebra
Algebra is used widely to solve problems in business, industry, and science by
using symbols, such as x and y, to represent unknown values (Algebra). The
power of algebra is that it enables us to create, write, and rewrite problem
solving formulas. Without algebra, we would not have many of the items we use
on a daily basis: television, radio, telephone, microwave oven, etc.
Geometry
Geometry is the branch of mathematics that deals with shapes. More
specifically, geometry is the study of relations, properties, and measurements of
solids, surfaces, lines, and angles. It is most useful in building or measuring
things. Architects, astronomers, construction engineers, navigators, and
surveyors are just a few professionals who rely on geometry.
Trigonometry
Trigonometry is mathematics that deals with triangular measurements. Plane
