HerLoss Posted September 26, 2005 Share Posted September 26, 2005 All mathmatics is theory based upon theory. The decimal system itself is a theory, upon which all mathematics is based. Had the decimal system been set up any other way all of mathematics would be completly different. All mathematics is is a system humans devised to help explain things in understandable terms.

I agree. Maths was developed by humans to quantify naturally-occuring phenomena. It is us who developed numbers, co-ordinates and vectors. No one told us that this point should be (0,0)... we do that for our own good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
