Earning on Earth, sending mission tp Mars, Is Math

indispensable?





Can dreams be calculated? Can dreams be measured? Can

dreams be added or subtracted? But they do get
translated

into reality. We work on dreams, evolve fantasies. Our

fantasies drive our action, activity or our needs
regulate

us to work or eat, play or for any activity. Where is
the

Mathematics into this?



Pleasure and happiness are not measurable. No counting
or

standards can be ascribed to these nouns. Similarly
earning

bread for living has direct relationship with work.
Math

became relevant after literacy. Values were given
according

to quantity and quality of work.



But the need for work arose from gut level, physical
being,

directed by signals generated inside the human
being.Maths

seem irrelevant at this stage.



Our physiological and psychological needs can not be

measured. No mathematical values can be used to define

them. But these needs do regulate our behavior- to do
an

activity or not to do.



Mathematics for all subjective matters and issues is an

irritant. It limits, caps the process.



Can the water in the Sea be measured? Can weight of

mountain be worked out ? Can mother’s love for her
child be

quantified?



For one person, who is an honest and skillful- one pays

handful of currency and other person avails his
services

for nothing tangible and expresses thanks only, or the

third person facilitates him with handsome salary. Is
it

possible to give a mathematical expression to honesty
and

ability or skills of this person?



It will be limiting the factor. No values can be
ascribed

for traits.



This figure oriented expression is for them who lack

wisdom, sense of perception, feelings, realization and

emotions.



Mathematics is for the ones who do not understand
natural

mechanisms. Nature existed before Maths.Mechanisms
existed

before Maths.Human being tried to make it
understandable

using Gamma or Beta or Theta.



It has been used for analyzing, interpreting the
knowledge,

nature, cause and effect of nature, to understand

mechanisms. It is simply a Tool and tool is dispensable.

Alternatives will be found by man.



So long as it will be found useful, it shall be
utilized.

It will continue to be amended, sharpened, and it is
also

possible that science of hunches, feelings, whims,
fancies

will govern and as such it guides, directs and
regulates us

all.
