Mathematics Lesson 1

Is mathematics the grand design for the Universe, or merely a figment of the human imagination?

Ian Stewart is trying to get us to think about Mathematics in general, and where it orignated from, is it out there, and do we have to figure it out, or do we make it up as we go along, these axioms together with using language percieption, we come to conclude that using language, language of the maths, many varied people have figured out various things such at pythagoras and i am convinced with this that, pythagoras does work, but we are yet to figure out that there is infact something that it does not work on, it is not infinate.

In this, He is trying to get us to believe that Biology is maths, he thinks that suchs things like petals in a flower are fibonacci numbers such as the first two equal the next one, and from what i know about the mysteriousness about this world and the depth of biology, i agree with him, biology can be maths related such as when you are trying to work out the size of such cells, in MM or CM and you need to relate to maths to change your answer from MM to CM and so on, but such things in biology, such as how a plant grows has nothing to do with maths unless you think about it mathematically, how much water did we add? this effected the growth why? the cells downed etc and I think that we will never truly know everything, thats why theories and myths still live, because noone can truly prove their point because someone always has a better explanation.
