Why use mathematics if we don't know how or why it operates?

Question

It just seems unethical to me. It assumes too many variables. I do use it because I have to, but there is the possibility of too many ethical mistakes. One can deprive a human being of essence, it is a dangerous idea.

Answer 1

Uhmm...I would suggest that you actually try to learn a little math--you might be surprised at the uses that you can find for this stuff!

Answer 2

The reason mathematics is taught in high school is to foster brain development. Abstract reasoning is a valuable skill to have, but it's difficult to develop without help. The more you use it (and high school math tries to keep you using it as much as possible), the denser your frontal lobe becomes, because of the production of new pathways between neurons.
Abstract reasoning is invaluable in problem solving and many other activities. Obviously this isn't the only reason we use mathematics, but it is an important one.

Answer 3

Not learning begets stupidity. Fear robs the beauty, peace and contentment of purpose in competency. You only become competent in doing. Math is man made, its reality to describe.


The Will is positive, the Judgment is negative.

PS. Human essence can not be taken, it can only form as human or inhuman. I guess that's the price for higher intelligence.

Answer 4

On the contrary, we know quite well why it works. Most science relies on math. Try reading any book on physics, and you'll see that mathematics is well-studied and actually quite integral to the universe. You are still part of the universe, aren't you?

Answer 5

Without mathematics we can not move an inch. Formulas give interesting solutions.

Answer 6

Try to add up how much money you have without math. And thats just one simple little thing.

Answer 7

We use mathmaticis In everyday life you may not realize that we use It to count hours, days,times and money.

Answer 8

yeah why???
