Math +Physics

What does it mean to do math? What does math look like? Where do you find math? Who uses it?

To do math, it means to work with numbers and to make expressions using those numbers. To do math means to also find other ways to solve everyday problems, like with bills or or daily or monthly payments.

Math looks like a bunch of unorganized numbers put into a sentence. Everyday people find math. Not only in books but in the rest of the world as well. People who use math are usually those who teach it or those who choose to learn about it.

Even though some people completely despise math they still use it everyday. There isn't a single place in the world where math can't be found.

What is physics? Are we doing physics? Where can you find it? Who uses it?

Physics is another way of explaining why things do what they do. Questions like," Why does everyone on earth not float up off the ground?" or "Why does the apple fall down and not up?" are answered using physics.

We are doing physics to find out why many things in the universe do what they do. If there wasn't anything like physics in the world everyone would continuously wonder why. People would wonder why the apple drops instead of flying away. Or why people stay on the floor.

Like Math, physics can be found everywhere. When a person throws a ball or a rock up in the air or when someone goes for a stroll in a park. Anyone can look anywhere and find physics. As long as someone can find something and ask "why?" they can always find physics.

Most scientists use physics to find solutions to why something is doing what it does. So they can find the answer to "why".
