Alright it's time to test whether any of you mathfags are more than just shut-in autists that never touched grass.
Explain in just one post how from arithmatics and geometry math arrived where it is today.
Only galaxy brains need reply.
Rest of you don't strain yourselves.

i am 26 senior in college and every day i think about walking over to my balcony where i will put one leg over and call it a day because i am still a virgin. College is the place where losers who couldnt have sex in high school have their final shot at sex. Since i am a senior, every day i look at my balcony for its approval.

Doesn't doing that prove you are exactly a shut-in autist.

No because it shows you know how it's all connected to the real world instead of just moving symbols in lala land.

There is no difference between "la la land" and the "real world" anon. It is why math as the most abstract of subjects is also the most useful in describing the "real world".

Wouldn't language be the best at describing the real world ? I know some people describe math as a language but I don't think regular language has those millennium prize type problems, where no-one alive is smart enough to work out how to like say a particular word or something, yet regular language can describe everything, even things that don't make sense or don't exist. So maybe math is like an incomplete language I guess. It's a shame math is so complex compared to regular language, it's really unintuitive for a lot of people

You could say that math isn't necessarily created, in the same sense that a natural language is. However unlike natural language, which one could argue is actually artificial, the language of math just simply exists whether or not there is anyone to describe it. So it might be reasonable to assume the language is complete, but can never be completely described.

>It's a shame math is so complex compared to regular language, it's really unintuitive for a lot of people.

If you have taken to study other languages you will probably realize most regular language is far more complex, inconsistent and unintuitive than the standardized language used to communicate math. Just take a look at the russian case system, as one example.

Geometry led to quadratic equations which led to imaginary numbers and polynomials
Basic arithmetic problems leads to algebra
Dispute over euclid’s axioms led to non-Euclidean geometry which also led to people reconsidering the foundations of mathematics with people like Peano and Hilbert
Analysis of graphs in Analytical geometry along with analysis of infinite series and sequences led to Calculus
Foundations of Calculus leads to analysis
Algebra + Logic = Boolean algebra which leads to many developments in logic
Search for foundations and developments in logic leads to mathematica principia which has type theories and leads to incompleteness theories
Problems with infinity leads to set theory which becomes foundation
Polynomials lead to group theory in search to find general solution to quintic which leads to higher abstract algebra
Imaginary numbers + analysis = complex analysis
Many individuals lead to development of linear algebra, really just a bunch of stuff coming together
Set theory + other individual developments + analysis leads to topology

Etc etc
