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.
