👉 Ears math, or ear math, is a unique and informal system of number representation that originated in the United States, particularly among college students. It uses a combination of letters and numbers to denote place values, similar to how Roman numerals work but with a more compact and flexible structure. For example, the number 1234 can be represented as E3H4 (where E = 100, H = 10, and 3 is a single digit). This system allows for quick mental calculations and memorization of large numbers, making it efficient for tasks like budgeting, scientific calculations, and even everyday problem-solving. Ears math relies heavily on the ability to associate letters with specific values, creating a compact and intuitive way to handle numbers.
