        Would Mathematics exist if people didn't? In ancient time mankind had hotly debated whether mathematics was discovered or invented? Is it a product of human mind or it exist in realm? Did we purposely created it to understand the physical world around us or is it the intrinsic language of the universe itself ? And many such questions are always the hot topics to discuss about.           We know mathematics has mysterious power to describe the patterns and The structures of the physical world. But have you ever tried to explore that. Lets for it right now.           Now have a look at the following statements:      1 . There are 8 planets in our solar system.      2 . There are 1,14,353 trees in the forest.       What do you think, does the existence of human affect the number of planets in our solar system or the number of trees in the forest.  No. It doesn't . Weather human exist or not the number of trees and the planets are going to be same. But the poi

what is mathematics?

           Hey guys, I am back with the very interesting topic. Most of you are from science and mathematics background. At Least you have studied Mathematics till 10th standard. So, have you ever try to explore  “what is Mathematics?If  you do, it’s fine. If not, let’s do it right now.          Now, we will start from the ancient time of Pythagoras . So, question is what Mathematics was for those of Pythagoras and the people of that time. Why they use Mathematics ? What was the purpose?           Now, have a look at the very basic theorem called Pythagoras Theorem: Pythagoras Theorem:  a^2 + b^2 = c^2 for the following right angled triangle.            What Pythagoras thereom explains is following: If you have two squares with areas 4 sq.units and 3 sq.units. when you add them together then the total area is going to be equivalent to the square with area 5 sq.units. That's it.           Ancient people used to use mathematics in their daily life. If one person have 1
