Say if there was no mathematics, no digits, nothing, what kind of life we would have been living?

If there was no mathematics we would live all another world. We couldn't do a lot of things, we couldn't communicate on myLot, for instance, and yet, great cultures as he Mayas, for example, could live without knowing an important invention. I think that if there was no mathematics our life would be very hard, scientific discoveries and inventions are very important, and yet, I think that it would be worse if poem did't exist, or picture, or music.... I prefer live in a world without Einstein but with Mozart :-)

Sure mate, we would not have been communicating with each other on mylot. Also I like your comment about Einstein and Mozart... Surely if there was no music then life would not have been life anymore....

wow, I would not be able to live a life like that. If I were to ask my mum to buy me cakes at the store. I would say how many do I want and all that, but if there are no digits, what can be done than? draw it? I really cant live without it. my answer is that simple. And human have brain that God's gift, at first there are no digits anyway, but because human wants to make it convenient for us to communicate with each other than Human created 1,2,3 with inspired by GOD

We'd all be living a very confusing and disorganized life.

We would be in a world where petty beaurocrats and bean counters would have nothing to do and no purpose on earth, whatever would Saten do with all these extra demons in hell?

Mathematics; as we call the topic; would exist all by themselves. But scientists and philosophers of the ages needed to denote the relationships that were evident in the experiments and studies they undertook. Numerals, and Letters were used to provide a kind of 'shorthand' account of one set of results/observations to enable someone else to duplicate the situation and thereby prove the original study. The evolution of number; and, the realisation of one set of constant factors in one situation; eventually led to the use of CONSTANTS (denoted by a letter or character eg Pi); and so often named after the scientist or mathematician to whom most of the discovery was attributed.

I just can't imagine that lol. Everything in life is based on mathematics. The creator Himself is the greatest mathematician. "Let him who is ignorant of mathematics not enter".
