>> you think math and arithmetic are "different"? Damn. You're trying to work me to death. The Difference: Arithmetic is concrete and practical: it’s about doing calculations. Math is both practical and theoretical, exploring "why" and "how" beyond just "what’s the answer." Example: Adding 7 + 5 is arithmetic. Figuring out why 7 + 5 equals 12 using properties of numbers (like the commutative property) or modeling it with a graph is math in a broader sense. Overlap: In everyday language, people often use "math" to mean arithmetic, especially in early education (e.g., "I’m bad at math" usually means "I struggle with calculations"). But technically, arithmetic is just the starting point of the mathematical journey. So, no, they’re not the same—arithmetic is a subset of math. Does that clarify it for you?
