The Greek mathematician Pythagoras summed it up fairly well:
"Numbers rule the Universe."
Indeed, math is the only truly universal language, spoken in some form by every human being on the planet.
From ancient Egypt to Babylonia; from Rome to Greece; from Euclid to Pythagoras; from Liebnitz to Newton; from arithmatic to geometry; from algebra to calculus; from set theory to chaos theory; from one corner of the globe to the other. Mathematics has always held a place at the forefront of science.
Intimidating to some, breathtaking and enlightening to others; math is absolutely pervasive in the modern world, and is growing only more so with the continued passage of time.
