thats how i look at it. the algebraic equations and even the cemetry.(or the shape measureing and mass of something). the equations are so attractive looking I cant help but to want to understand the number/answer. But i'm so dumb i got a lot of other things going on in my mind, that this is all i want to know. So please answer my question with actual factual evidence and not your opinion,...."unless eTs Laike...Poetry."

Counting used to be all there was to mathematics. As man became smarter through the ages, he developed more complex things, and more complex mathematics to make them possible. These complex mathematics cannot be expressed by just counting. To prove this point, if counting was all there was, Golbach's Conjecture and Riemann's Hypothesis would have been solved the same day they were made. However, neither one has been solved, even after nearly 150 years.

NO.
Math is not just abt counting...
counting implies natural nos. only...i.e. 1, 2 , 3 etc..
but math is composed of other nos. too...like real nos... There are infinite real nos. between any 2 integers... u just cant think about counting them all!!
there are even irrational algebraic nos... like sqrt(2) ...and whats more is that, there are infinite irrational nos between any 2 rational nos. and infinite rationals between any 2 irrational nos.
There are also irrational nos. like 'e' and 'pi' which aren't even solutions of any polynomial equation....
So u see... math is just 0.00001% bout counting, rest all is .... god knows what!

Not exactly, I think. Besides numbers, math also includes fractions, area and perimeter, ratio and many other topics. Math is all about the math language too. Check it out at Google.

LOL. Yes, it is possible, but many, through past experiences [such as I and basically all who I know] have got out of the habit of counting, and well...using more mental math and adding really.

yes counting is required but you can try abacus which can help with your counting.first of all dedication sincerity and presence of mind is required.
