This book provide highlights on the various terms that are used in mathematics. Mathematics is essential in many fields, including natural science, engineering, medicine, finance, and the social sciences. Applied mathematics has led to entirely new mathematical disciplines, such as statistics and game theory. Mathematicians engage in pure mathematics (mathematics for its own sake) without having any application in mind, but practical applications for what began as pure mathematics are often discovered later.

Indigenous education is a local decision-making framework in food security, human and animal health, education, natural resource management, and other important economic and social activities. Indigenous peoples have the right to maintain, control, protect and develop their cultural heritage, traditional knowledge, and traditional cultural expressions, as well as their scientific, technological, and cultural expressions, including the characteristics of human and genetic resources, seeds, medicines, animals and plants, oral tradition, literature, design, traditional sports and games, and visual and performing arts. The book presents and develops the notion of community-based education as a means of combating this tendency. Some examples of indigenous community-based education are examined, and there is a discussion both of its distinctive features and underlying principles, and its potential impact on the education of indigenous students.

Explores some of the innovative ways in which children can be taught mathematics in early childhood and so that they completely understand the concepts.

Discusses mathematical literacy. This book offers an international perspective of mathematical literacy, and different mathematical frameworks, such as that of OECD or PISA. An overview about the perimeter and areas and different types of shapes is included. The concept of statistics is also covered.

Explains the basic fundamentals of mathematics. The book also explains algebra and the basic maths related to it, and discusses number theory and number system. Also discussed are relations and functions, the use of proportional logic, graph theory, and mathematical induction and recursion and the various related theorems.
