Algebra?

Edited by Auttumnnnn: 10/1/2016 2:22:05 PMYes. But to be straightforward, I don't believe there's anything any form of math can do to a number that would make it interesting. All it does is lead to another number or similarly uninteresting answer. I much prefer subjects like Psychology, Art, and the more interesting and mysterious side of Astronomy. Where's there's more questions than answers, or more perspectives than facts. Math is nothing but numbers and ways to change those numbers, processes and more processes, and it offers nothing I care for in any way. Hard Sciences in general are uninteresting to me.

I think you have a flawed perception of math. It's not really about numbers at all, but you need something to communicate the meaning behind it. It's about relationships and interactions, and the philosophical ramifications of modern mathematics are amazing. You say you like astronomy, when that entire field is only what it is, because of the math behind it. Ideas like Einstein's relativity and by extension black holes, quantum mechanics, quantum field theory, string theory, and many many more are purely mathematical concepts.

Math is the means, while whatever it is being applied to is the end. I don't care for the process of math. I am only interested in the information that comes out of that process. I don't at all care about the math behind the concepts in Astronomy, but I love talking about what that math translates to in the real world. Something similar would be game design. Games are nothing but lines of code, processes and programming coming together to create a game. None of that interests me. The coding is just the uninteresting process that creates the truly interesting part that is the game itself, just as math is the uninteresting process that leads to the real world concepts within Astronomy.
