In classical mathematics, analytic geometry, also known as coordinate geometry, or Cartesian geometry, is the study of geometry using a coordinate system.

This contrasts with synthetic geometry.

Linear algebra is the branch of mathematics concerning vector spaces and linear mappings between such spaces.

It includes the study of lines, planes, and subspaces, but is also concerned with properties common to all vector spaces.

Calculus (from Latin calculus, literally "small pebble used for counting") is the mathematical study of continuous change, in the same way that geometry is the study of shape and algebra is the study of generalizations of arithmetic operations.

It has two major branches, differential calculus (concerning rates of change and slopes of curves), and integral calculus (concerning accumulation of quantities and the areas under and between curves); these two branches are related to each other by the fundamental theorem of calculus.

Both branches make use of the fundamental notions of convergence of infinite sequences and infinite series to a well-defined limit.

Generally, modern calculus is considered to have been developed in the 17th century by Isaac Newton and Gottfried Leibniz.

Today, calculus has widespread uses in science, engineering and economics.

In contemporary education, mathematics education is the practice of teaching and learning mathematics, along with the associated scholarly research.

In science, a formula is a concise way of expressing information symbolically as in a mathematical or chemical formula.

The informal use of the term formula in science refers to the general construct of a relationship between given quantities.

The plural of formula can be spelled either as formulas or formulae (from the original Latin).
