Oldest evidence for math: 43,000-year-old scratch marks on a baboon bone found in Africa
Most famous equation: Einstein's E = mc2, which means energy is equal to mass times the speed of light squared.
Known digits of pi: More than 105 trillion digits
Digits of pi NASA uses for equations: 16 digits
Mathematics is the science that deals with the logic of shape, numbers and arrangement. Math is all around us, in everything we do. It describes the tiniest subatomic particles and the most massive structures in the universe, and it is crucial to many things in our daily lives, from how fast our hot cocoa cools to the path of a fastball as it arcs toward a batter. Math was invented as a field of study thousands of years ago, yet some of the simplest mathematical questions have never been answered.
