👉 Vanilla math refers to the fundamental arithmetic operations and principles that form the basis of all mathematical calculations. It includes addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and exponentiation, along with basic properties such as commutativity (order doesn't matter in addition and multiplication), associativity (order can be changed without affecting the result), and distributivity (multiplication distributes over addition). These operations are used to solve problems involving numbers, quantities, and relationships, forming the foundation for more complex mathematical concepts.
