yep.
A lot of people told me I will never need Algieba, but I use it every day.
Math is Science for that matter.
Even urinating requires, Geometry and Physics. LOL.

Yes,i have.
And forget what i know(i dont count much anyway);
For its true that a (t least one,probably more)mathematician
called kurt Godel,discovered and proved that the basic
"speciality"of math- Arithmetic- is INCOMPLETE.
This "stunned" our world,although this was in 1932 i think(!);
The math world was stunned,i believe,because then it was
proved conclusively that, ... ANY math function that contains
(or is even remotely connected with such)arithmetic
-and this is nearly all as you must imagine;then these functions/equations can be,will be,should be,logically be,
reasonably be surpassed by an infinity OF BETTER AND
MORE SUITABLE, FUNCTIONS.
So i take it that you and others can do the, "switch"
(a critical and normal-learn realisation), an understanding
which so galvanised and startled the mathematical world
for over 70 years now!
So putting ur question(a good one- for we ALL have to learn,
its in our "genes"!)into context; yes,it could well be absolutely
true that "everything that we do requires a math function",
but, since many years ago(as i have outlined above) we all
now know that these or ANY mathematical functions, ARE
PROVED TO BE NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
And excuse me for saying this(im not an american citizen
although i hope to be), not only is the math(s) of the greatest
country-in-the-world "at fault"!(!).
But also, its been proved(and as we are a Young Darwin-ian
world society also!) THAT THE MATH OF THE LEAST GREATEST COUNTRY/SOCIETY IS......NOT GOOD ENOUGH!
Sorry for the capitals...but, ur Q supposes,rightly,that math IS
and always was important in our lives.
You and i and now many others,hopefully(!)can always say that-thanks to kurt Godel- it neednt be overwhelming or even
Crucial!
And i think it has possibly taken many years for Godel's fine
discovery-proof to have a proper "effect" on us darwinians;
Mathematical ones AND Ordinary ones!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Have a nice day.

No, but now I have.
However, I would say that everything we do can be described in a mathematical way, or via a mathematical function. Although I would amend that to say 'virtually' everything...
May God bless you.

Very true. I realized and then experienced it long ago.
Even the fools will know it one day that pissing requires a mathematical function indeed!!!

Lol. More like math IS those things. Math is basicaly taking pieces of the Universe.

Math is a language that explains.
Not the other way around.

Really? What function did I use when i pissed today?
