What is math? The main answer to this question is going to be that math is using numbers, symbols, operations, etc. to solve given problems but to me math is much more than just numbers and symbols. Math is all about problem solving and using critical thinking to work through questions and to come up with a logical answer. Math is figuring out everyday life needs in a way that makes sense. Math is also the use of patterns and sequences. To some people when they are asked what is math there response is going to be "math is hard" but math is really just about having an open mind and using numbers, symbols, operations, and logic to work through and solve a problem.
The top 5 discoveries in math are the value of pi, the strong right angle theorem, Pythagorean Theorem, the discovery of logarithms, the discovery of negative numbers. I believe all of these things are great discoveries because without them a lot of the math we do today would not be possible. These things have all been building blocks to many of the ideas in a lot of my math classes.
