- Outline of arithmetic
-
The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to arithmetic:
Arithmetic is the oldest branch of mathematics, used by almost everyone. Its tasks range from the simple act of counting to advanced science and business calculations. The traditional arithmetic operations are addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division, although more advanced concepts such as percentages, square root, exponentiation, and logarithmic functions are also a part of this subject. (Note: number theory is sometimes referred to as "higher arithmetic", but this term should not be confused with "arithmetic").
