Order in Math

Introduction:

If we start discussing about the concepts of math, the discussion would never be over. Starting from algebra, adding square roots, radicals, geometry, trigonometry and the lists never ends. It goes on and on and on. I am not an expertise in math so i won't go with the complex ones. Today i will share my knowledge on the orders in math. Yes about orders, what got confused! Don't be, because it is about ascending and descending order.

Number ordering:

Number ordering is the process of arranging numbers in a definite pattern. In math there are basically two orders of numbering: ascending order and descending order.

Ascending order:

Ascending order is that where numbers are arranged in the increasing order i,e. arranging from smaller to bigger number and using the smaller than sign "<" for ascending order. As for example: 1<2<3<4<5<6<7<8<9<10.

Descending order is that pattern of order where numbers are arranged in the decreasing order i,e. arranging from bigger to smaller number and using the greater than sign ">" for descending order. As for example: 10>9>8>7>6>5>4>3>2>1.

Conclusion:

Ascending and descending order are used for many purposes and so though simple it is essential to math. Today i dealt with the the two basic patterns of arranging numbers. Some other time we will try to move on with the harder concepts of math. Till then enjoy ordering.
