Numbers, Numbers Everywhere – Dialogue with Kyle Passarelli D6

What is math? What are numbers? Could math exist without numbers and numbers without math? Is mathematics inherent to the world? I’ve been thinking of these questions since our dialogue on Wednesday and it’s very interesting how humans are capable of adapting the things I believe are inherent in the world into our world. What I mean is that math is always and will always be in the world, whether we see it or not, whether we can apply it or not. Math is there. On the other hand, we have numbers, which we must not confuse with math. Numbers are concepts, symbols, imaginary things created by humans in order to understand mathematics. In other words, numbers are created to adapt math into our life. Numbers are the language of math. So yes, math could exist without numbers, but not the other way.
