Why is math every where?

Answer 1

I don't really think maths IS everywhere, but it's difficult to explain. We humans have created maths to investigate the things around us. We observe the universe we live in and adapt our mathematics in order to represent it as accurately as possible. I always refer to the (no doubt very historically inaccurate) example: primitive humans farming livestock. There must have come a point when people were asking "How many?" and "Lots!" wasn't an accurate enough answer, since many people of the village had "lots" of cattle. So they create the natural number system, probably not by that name though ;), to quantify exactly how many cattle each person has.
