mistreated. Turned. Unhinged. Frightening. Damn. Yet so basic in human life, mathematics, is increasingly taboo. But despite this apparent, this tendency leads to a contradiction. The economy is it not based on mathematics? Just as the disciplines statistics, many philosophies, and even science itself and, the famous book written in mathematical characters "of Galileo? There would be no progress (and not only scientific), without mathematics. Mathematics means clear mechanism, linear, where the practice is precisely the theory. There is no way to be wrong, the answer is one and only one. And, in technical terms, moreover, this statement defines a function. But then, why is it so easy to make mistakes in solving any math?
The answer lies in human nature itself. The mathematics is needed, that dwells within us, to establish the boundaries between what is "right" and "wrong." It is not ethical, nor is it moral, as it may seem an apparently moral grounds. Just because nothing, in theory, it is prohibited within the limits of common sense and respect for others' freedom, it is natural to feel the need to create a mental order. At least the pages filled with expressions.
Not surprisingly, those who solves any problem nature of mathematical proof of a sudden feeling of happiness, which grows with the movement of the pen that traces the dark figures on the white paper and that, although short-lived and illusory, is the total void of rationality apparently filled. It does not last more than a few minutes, sometimes hours or even days if the resolution was obtained with a satisfactory performance, such as happens to students. But even so fleeting, it is noteworthy emotion and reasoning. It 'so clear, the math should be part of each of us as humans. A concept that Galileo has summarized this way: "Science is not the task of opening a door to infinity to know, but pose a barrier to the infinite ignorance. "We are nothing but be mean ...
E 'is therefore natural to aspire to something more, if not to perfection, the illusion of being able to reach. Even the most creative minds, more dreamers and me to be allowed, more distracted need to mathematical order. On the contrary, are perhaps the people with these characteristics that character feel more the need, even if it never would be able to admit it. Their curricula mark or sign, formally, weaknesses, gaps and challenges, and the cause of this is clearly their mindset. It is for this reason should make, just like the others, the rational limits.'s just that there are only less conscious, or perhaps prefer not admit this ...
No one is exempt from this unconscious process, no one can escape.
Speaking of math, then you're not going to school discipline. The arithmetic, algebra, geometry ends in themselves. Nor only to their applications in various fields of knowledge. Consider a process rather universal and eternal, as well as the remedy to the greatest human need: the need for rationality.
In mathematics, the mind has to do with its own forms of knowledge, time and space: it's like a cat playing with its tail. (Arthur Schopenhauer)
