5 Math Terms that Were Named Wrong!

Video Description

Mathematics contains a lot of ideas and concepts and hence a lot of words to describe them. Usually, the terms are reasonably descriptive, but occasionally a concept just gets a really odd name that either doesn't describe it well or, in the worst cases, might mean something completely different. In this video, we consider 5 such terms and propose some potential better options for them.
