This year we are featuring the STEM field of math. Math is the language of science and engineering. We use numbers, quantities, measurements, and the relationships between them to communicate our ideas on how things work. Studied in several branches including arithmetic, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and calculus, math enables us to describe the world around us through patterns and models using logical reasoning. This season, your goal is to learn more about the exciting world of math and how it can be used to find solutions to interesting problems around us.
