Math, or mathematics has been an important piece of human life for as long as we have been here. The first numerical symbols appeared in Egypt, dating back all the way to 3500 B.C.
Merriam Webster calls math “the science of numbers and their operations,” while some struggling students call it a waste of time, tears, and brain power.
Contrastingly, many professors, engineers, and accountants hold an unparalleled passion for it; finding peace in the way equations work themselves out into simplified explanations.
Girl math, is very loosely, if at all, related to the version of mathematics we practice on tear-stained worksheets on the kitchen counter (shoutout Dad!). Instead, girl math is sophisticated, feminine form of economics used by women of all ages.
Urban Dictionary defines girl math as the logic used by the female population to rationalize why they are getting a pretty good deal as far as their time, money and convenience are concerned.
