Mathematics includes the study of such topics as quantity (number theory), structure (algebra), space (geometry) and change (mathematical analysis). It can be called the indispensable pillar of natural science, engineering, medicine, finance and social sciences also.
The word “mathematics” comes from Ancient Greek word “máthēma”, meaning “that which is learnt, “what one gets to know,” hence also “study” and “science”. The word “mathematics” came to have the narrower and more technical meaning “calculating study” even in classical times.
Math-magic tricks can liven up any math class and create a sense of wonder and curiosity about mathematics. Not only that, math magic creates a new context for logical reasoning as students go beyond “What’s the answer?” to explore “What’s the trick?”
