A trend in society is a something that many people do or have. For example if a new clothing brand is "trending" then it's popular among many people.
In maths, particularly statistics and other data analysis, a trend is a pattern which is observed in the data you have. For example I could measure the time it takes me to cycle 10 miles over 6 weeks. The more I cycle, the better I get, and the less time it would take. I would expect to see a TREND in the times, since they'd go down.
