  1. Language and mathematics don't correlate into speech. So shhhh! Explain mathematics to children as a fun game and then hide it. Make children want to find it. You are scaring them. I grew up with the ability to make most mathematical calculations in my head. Why? Because I was legally blind and I do everything in my head. I am not complaining about my disability. I just am sorry for your misunderstanding about how everything besides humans view their environment. You don't think that animals can do mathematical calculations? Watch a cat hunt.

  2. My joke whenever I fumble arithmetic at D&D games is “I’m a math major, I haven’t seen a number in like, five years”

    Yep. If you liked math in grade school, go into Accounting. If you like money, Engineering or Computer Science. If you like LOGIC, then study math.

  4. My college roommate was a math major and after he got to the point where he understood some advanced number theory stuff, he lost the ability to do simple arithmetic.

  5. I remember even as a kid when I went to math Olympiads all of my teammates were comfortably trilingual. It makes sense, as the the common connective link in math is the most sensible part of languages, so having access to small variances in different languages presenting the same argument concepts allows for a refinement in the mind of the viewer, which leads to the language of creating math

    I’ve had this thought forever that math should be taught as part of language. It makes it so much easier when I think “what’s the logical proof this person is trying to communicate to me “
