Typically, the question "why is mathematics necessary?" is answered with something like "it's a workout for the mind." In my opinion, this explanation is insufficient. When a person exercises, they know the exact names of the muscle groups being developed. But discussions about mathematics remain too abstract. Which specific "muscles of the mind" are trained by school algebra? It is quite different from real […]
