If math were a building‚ it would resemble a pyramid erected upside down. The taller the building becomes‚ the more space to build more.” I could not agree more. Mathematics is an opportunity.

As a person looks around at themselves and their surroundings they can pick up small details about themselves as well as their society. Our society has a large influence on the things that are bought‚ taken home‚ and displayed. Society also depicts what things are fashionable and what is not.
