Mathematical constants and functions

Math constants and functions are like puzzles or riddles. They are special numbers or equations that help us solve problems. Constants are like a special number like pi (3.14) that always stays the same no matter what problem you are trying to solve. Functions are like puzzles that use numbers and operations (like addition, subtraction, multiply, divide) to help us figure out things. For example, if you need to figure out what 5 + 7 is, you can use a function to help you solve this problem.
