ABSTRACT

Numbers are a part of mathematics; but unfortunately, when asked, too many people think that numbers are all there is to mathematics. When pressed, some say that geometry and algebra are part of mathematics; some even say that mathematics is a language—the language of science. I claim that mathematics includes all of these things but much more. Mathematics can arise in various forms in any human endeavor, some of which have nothing to do with numbers! I will partially demonstrate this claim in this book.
