Abstract
The intent of this paper is to present the reader will enough information to spark a curiosity in to the subject. By no means is the following a complete formulation of any of the topics covered. I want to give the reader a tour of the mathematical landscape. There are plenty of further details to explore in each section, I have just touched the tip the iceberg. The work is basically in four sections: Numbers, Geometry, Functions, Sets and Logic, which are the basic building blocks of Math. The first sections are a exposition into the mathematical objects and their algebras. The last section dives into the foundation of math, sets and logic, and develops the ``language'' of Math. My hope is that after this, the reader will have the necessary (maybe not sufficient) information needed to talk the language of Math.
