Question
why did we call math mother of all sciences?

Answer
Because mathematics provides the basic tools for understanding, analyzing, modeling and solving many physical or abstract problems encountered in science.

Long term weather forecast is one of many applications that I can think of. A mathematical model created for this purpose would take into account historical data such as temperature and rainfall, as well as solar cycle, and other indicators taken from the ocean and atmosphere. To make sense of all the measurements and to predict climate conditions accurately, statistical analysis (much mathematics) is required.

Expertise

When I work through problems, I like to emphasize concepts which I believe are worth noting. I will try to answer questions in the following areas, but not at the advanced level. Algebra. Sequences & Series. Trigonometry. Functions & Graphs. Coordinate Geometry. Quadratic Polynomials. Exponential & Logarithms. Basic Calculus. Probability, Permutation and Combination. Mathematical Induction. Complex numbers. Physics problems.

Experience

I have worked as a teaching assistant in college. My hope is that more people will share knowledge without boundary, give help without seeking recognition or monetary rewards.
