In school days, we have all faced Mathematics questions which were very irritating at times. Some of us always wanted to get rid of some silly algebraic questions and exercises for homework.
But here, we have 16 amazing facts about this subject that you will be surprised to know:
1. A pizza which has radius ‘z’ and height ‘a’ has Volume=Pi + z + z + a = ‘Pizza’.

5. The only number that can never be represented by Roman numerals is ‘zero’.
6. The most popular favourite number of people is 7
