The measurement tool called a compass (a divider caliper, two rods on a hinge) is used for drafting and for measurement of arc distances. It may be considered to be a tool of mathematics, particularly geometry.
The navigational tool called a compass (magnetic compass) determines direction based on the heading compared to the direction of the magnetic north pole and is not likely to be considered to be a tool of mathematics.

What is the a compass in math?
In math a compass is an object used to draw accurate circles and arcs (parts of circles, or curves). In math, a compass is something that makes a circle and it also measures circumference. How to make a circle: A compass either has led in it or you stick a pencil in it, but it depends on what kind of compass it is. If you want to make a big circle, you expand the 2 sides. when you get it to the size you want, you stick it on paper and twirl it around. It may not be a perfect circle but it most likely will be close.
