    you can break down life in to mathematics.

    well, if you get real technical, everything in existence is mathematics including any and all life we are currently aware of. physics explains everything in mathematical terms...

    Here are a couple of famous mathematicians who agree with you:

    Albert Einstein: "As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain, and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality."

    Bertrand Russell: "Mathematics may be defined as the subject in which we never know what we are talking about, nor whether what we are saying is true."

    I might add that I would say the same exact thing about philosophy.

      thanks for helping to explain it ..

    Mathematics is universal, though it is not life itself. They're two very dissimilar concepts. What's your point? Who has ever claimed that they are synonymous or equivalent?

      VK-I think he's reacting to the thread "Proving Religion Through Mathematics."

      many events in this world that can not be completely determined by the mathematical

      like
      death
      birth
      fate
      accident
      disaster
      luck

    This is not easy ..
    but I'll explain ...

    limited capacity of our minds to understand all that is in this world, but we need to identify to help us in understanding something, then everything is in identification with symbols .... so easy to communicate .. 0-1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10 ....

    only symbols can be identified ..
    in fact there's always the X factor that is not capable of detection by the human mind

      Mathematics only reveals the intelligibility of a reality, not the first principles. This is touched on in a bit more detail in the following post: beingandquirckiness.blogspot.com/2009/02/harmony.html

    Anything can be represented in mathematical terms, cepoek96. This includes statistics on life, death, marriage, divorce, and probability.

      yes indeed, math can be to measure something after it happened, but not all, because of the limitations of the brain. so we aren't able to understand what is the actual space.

      Now you're just being incoherent.

    I'll agree - I hate mathematics!

    This is a general feeling about mathematics, but there always comes the moment when you have to colive with it so this perception should change.
    1. cepoek96
      agree, it doesn't mean we don't need math, but we know the limitations ..

    Life is not mathematics, but you can't deny the fact that it plays an important role in our lives. Many of the situations we find ourselves in and many of the ordinary activities that we do, involve mathematics. Mathematics is all around us.
    1. cepoek96
      really, I mean not all we can measure precisely the mathematics. mathematical estimates only ..

    I've read this whole thread twice and I still don't understand what cepoek96 wanted to say.

    Life isn't mathematics but we are all connected by mathematics.
