 * 2.** __**Using your own words**__**, write 5 definitions about any mathematical terms.**
 * (1) ** ** A **  ** Factorial (n!) is a mathematical expression. It represents the multiplication of all positive numbers from 1 to n. **
 * (2) A circle is a point group to keep __s__ a constant distance __to__ ** ** from **  ** a point named center. Th__e__ **  ** this **  ** distance is the radio. **
 * (3) ** ** A **  ** Squire **  ** SQUARE ?? **  ** is a geometry form than ha__ve__ **  ** has **  ** four equal sides and four angles of 90 degrees. **
 * (4) ** ** A **  ** Subtraction is a mathematical operation. In the subtraction, a number x is added with a negative numbers y, that is, ((x +(-y))=s). **
 * (5) ** ** An **  ** Algorithm is **  ** a **  ** procedure or a __step group__ **  ** group of steps **  ** than lead **  ** us **  ** to solve a problem.  **
