Mathematics
provides symbolic tools to test their systems on a piece of paper by
developing equations. This allows mathematicians to experiment and to
help them develop solutions in theory without grand experiments. Real
experiments collect data that can be
used to verify the equations. The
universe is multidimensional, so equations
are constantly defined and redefined to create an accurate and
precise model. Early scientists
and mathematicians had to define the basic unit or numbers, so it can be used
as a tool. They also had to develop
rules, to avoid the two headed worm problems. Equations must be equal to
each other and must adhere to defined properties.
Mathematicians
use numbers to model. The use of
numbers and the symbols they represent was not an easy invention.
Civilizations had to discover how to use numbers before they could measure
anything. How can one sell food without a system that can measure and
calculate the correct amount of food for a set amount of money? |
