Math is the hidden secret in understanding the world(Individual)

Math has been around for a century. We see math in different ways; some can give you
the various meaning of it since it's not all about numbers. There's logic inside and many
patterns where every number can give you an answer. Everywhere is math example when
we throw something up in the air, it falls, but it has a pattern

I always thought during my childhood days that math is only about numbers that we add,
multiply, and subtract. At that point, when I am still a child, my mind did not wonder but
solely concentrate on math being a numeral. As I grow, I understand more clearly that
math is everywhere; it has patterned; it's not all about the finite and infinite number.
Therefore I never think about that way during my childhood, my continuously learning
helps me to extend my mind.

Still, the changes in what I do if I solve an equation it brings forth various answers.
Like seeing an equation yet, you do not know the correct formula, so I develop my way to
solve the equation. The solution that I produce could be wrong or right yet; in reality, there
no right and wrong; however, for me, there's always a standard answer. In Contrast, I am
emphasizing the viewpoint of many different things, including math.

Hence, Math requires multiple points of view, also stated in the video of "Roger Antonsen:
Math is the hidden secret to understanding the world." From time to time, a change of
perspective to people is called empathy, which would be the ability to understand and
share the feelings of one another. Earlier, Relating to what I stated is that the
understanding of myself only could be the result of lacking perception. Nevertheless, the
power of having multiple views of people understanding would be influential.
