Summary
Miroslav M. Ćipranić: Mathematics - science or code
A ghost wanders the world, the ghost of mathematics! It is an illusion, because many are afraid of its complexity, which stems mainly from a misunderstanding that causes repulsion, often intolerance. However, mathematics cannot cause pain, not even mental pain, but it evidently can cause discomfort, perhaps even fear, albeit fundamentally irrational. Whether this is due to the individual's inability to think abstractly, formally, or is the result of bad teachers, it doesn't matter. It is important that a significant part of humanity does not perceive mathematics as close. On the contrary, it creates a feeling of anxiety and a kind of nervousness. Eccentricity, which sometimes proverbially accompanies mathematicians, borders on esotericism, mysticism, and almost religious fanaticism. This is how the story of Hippi /Ἵππασος/, the founder of the famous Pythagorean school, is known. In their philosophy, the Pythagoreans associated everything with numbers: cosmology, religion, music, geometry... Miroslav M.
