What Is Date Math?
Date math refers to operations such as adding or subtracting days, months, or years, as well as calculating the difference between two dates. It is widely used in finance, scheduling, project management, and software development.
Common Use Cases
- Determining future or past dates
- Calculating days remaining until an event

Why Date Math Can Be Complex
