02. The debate is going on for a long time now. Americans called mathematics “math” saying that the function of the same is a singular noun and with that logic, they prefer saying “math” which is singular too. But then there are people who call it Maths but we are not covering that part.

03. Did you know that one of the most important numbers, Zero is not represented in the Roman numerals. Derived from Arabic word, ‘sifr’, it is known from a variety of other names like naught, zip, nil and zilch.

04. Confusing as it may sound after the heading, the weirdly interesting thing is that the word “hundred” is derived from another word “hundrath” which actually means 120. Not very logical thing for this logic subject!

05. This debate is going on for a long time now. Americans called mathematics “math” saying that the function of the same is a singular noun and with that logic, they prefer saying “math” which is singular too. But then there are people who call it Maths but we are not covering that part.
