What do mathematicians do ?
Mathematicians seek out pattern and use them to formulate new conjectures.
And it's all about finding patterns. And by "pattern" I mean a connection, a structure, some
regularity a fluidity, some rules that govern what we see. Second of all, I think it is about
representing these patterns with a language. We make up language if we don't have it, and
in mathematics, this is essential. It's also about making assumptions and playing around
with these assumptions and just seeing what happens.
When mathematical structures are good models of real phenomena, then mathematical
reasoning can provide insight about reality of nature with the help of abstraction and logic.
Maths helps us to understand the logic of life. The most Beautiful and Powerful creation
ever created by Humans.
And it about the perspective the way you look at something in some way
For Example x + x = 2 • x.
This is a very nice pattern, and it's true, because 5 + 5 = 2 • 5. We've seen this over and
over, and we represent it like this. But think about it this is an equation. It says that
something is equal to something else, and that's two different perspectives. One perspective
is, it's a sum. It's something you add together. On the other hand, it's a multiplication, and
those are two different perspectives.
Every mathematical equation where you use that equality sign is actually a metaphor. It's an
analogy between two things. You're just viewing something and taking two different points
of view, and you're expressing that in a language. And I believe that you understand
something if you have the ability to view it from different perspectives.
Poisson "Life is good only for two things - discovering mathematics and teaching
mathematics".
The mathematicians does not study pure mathematics because it is useful; he studies it
because he delights in it and he delights in it because it is beautiful --Henri Poincare
Andre Weil describes "We know that God exists because mathematics is consistent and we
know that devil exists because we cannot prove the consistency".
If people do not believe that mathematics is simple, it is only because they do not realize
how complicated life is.
Maths is the only reason that world is so well arranged well versed. It is the way to
understand nature, formulate things, seeing a pattern. And the most scintillating and
admired thing that how it fraternizes with everything.
And Yes It is the cheapest science. All one need is a pencil and paper.
MATHEMATICS may not teach us how to breathe oxygen and how to exhale Carbon-
dioxide Or to love a friend and forgive an enemy. It may not even help us find our way to
our one true love.
