Why?
Avatar of BasixWhiteBoy
Because it’s math. Every question. I’m trying to enjoy the last week of summer, not look forward to doing geometry homework everyday.

What is math? ------- Math is a field of study that discovers and organises abstract objects, methods, theories, and theorems. Its the study of numbers and how they are related to each other and the world.

#4 fine then, is everything we do predetermined by how our brains are wired?

#5 that’s very in depth

#6 oh

Uh, yeah, probably. We still have no idea who we even are, or developed from, so that question is difficult to answer. But I would say yes and no. Yes, because your brain is different than someone else’s, but no because events can influence decisions.

Math is a factor of science, since it’s used alongside it. It is also a part of the foundation of education as have you ever heard of a school that doesn’t teach math?

It was created to explain solutions to complex questions since beforehand we had no idea of the answer.

uhhh- idk this one-

They- uhh- *insert confusion*

Math would almost definitely change as we find new things and understand new stuff, and our perspective of the world improves over time.

But how do those events happen?

That’s a question we can’t answer. If we don’t even how we developed into society or how we’re even here, we have no idea why events happen or why we make the decisions we make. If someone gives you a straight answer, it’s not correct.

They thought to come up with different parts of math for different needs and, like I said, how our perspectives improve through time.

#11 don’t worry we all are in one way or another, for the third one I meant, how did they go from basics to complex things, did they have a system or just make up things as they went?
Avatar of tibbyyyy

Why was it created? -------- Throughout history, different cultures have discovered that maths is needed for tasks like understanding groups and relationships, sharing food, counting, looking at astronomical patterns and lots more. There are probably forms of math that wete understood by people we didn't even know existed.

True, but that’s because he asked me a question that wasn’t math related. 😁
