currently im on a math assignment on optical illusions. however i dont know the relationship between the two.

i think closer to physics (light rays), which is relative to mathematics.

Actually Optical Illusion is concerned with physics, but as every body knows that physics contains a lot of equations that might be solved in maths

Mathematics is the attempt to describe reality via numeric machinations, so math can be used to describe all kinds of things, even things that arn't there (illusions). Math is just a system for discribing reality, usualy in the hope gaining some understanding about the reality you are describing, either predictively as in
if I add 2 apples to a bag that has 2 apples how many apples will I have in the bag
or deductively, I had 4 apples in my bag then I gave the bag to a friend, when my friend gave the bag back he said "sorry I ate 2 of your apples" how many apples are left in the bag?

It's geometry and physics. Angles of incident and angle of reflection cause many optical illusions. Also consider heat inverion and convection currents.

more like science. optical illusion happens when the eye does not coordinate with the brain,i guess.

Yes and no. It depends on how you look at it.
