Scary Math????? Oh! Come on….
I am still bemused by the fact that Shekys calls this subject MATH.

- This subject u start learning from your hmm…. say 7th grade
- This subject which has 18769 formulas and 98762765 methods for solving 127856623547574512374 problems
- This subject which alludes to improve your analytical ability and calculative powers
- This subject which has nothing fundamental but sub-subjects like calculus and stuff which are mere inventions (although they were painted with a brush called real MATH)
First of all MATH is not a subject that provides million-1 solutions. MATH is a language. A language in which this universe is written… U cannot hate it…. Yes! You do hate something that was taught to you and belied as MATH to you….. Those are just stuff which were written in MATH….
Any way here goes a very very famous quote:
Philosophy is written in this grand book – the universe – which stands continuously open to our gaze. But the book cannot be understood unless one first learns to comprehend the language and interpret the characters in which it is written. It is written in the language of mathematics, and its characters are triangles, circles, and other geometrical figures, without which it is humanly impossible to understand a single word of it; without these one is wandering about in a dark labyrinth.
(Galileo Galilei As quoted by Machamer in The Cambridge Companion to Galileo, pp.64f.)

I do not believe that maths is the language in which universe is written. Its the other way round. PPl are trying to twist and turn maths to fit into the universe, but still far far away from fitting it perfectly.
The extent of Universe that man has seen is very little and what he knows about his much much more smaller and the amt explained by maths is a miniscule of it.
Maths is derived from continous observation of universe and surroundings. not the other way round.

btw, what r u trying to say in this post? I guess u didn’t explain why maths is scary or not.
To me, maths is not scary. One need to strengthen the fundamentals and have enough interest. If thats accomplished, rest flows in like a river.
