Science Ka Adda: The Beauty of Mathematics
In the 16th Century, Galileo wrote that “The book of Nature is written in the language of Mathematics.” Arguably, the ability to make mathematical calculations is what differentiates us as a species from the rest of our brethren in the animal kingdom. With mathematics humans have been able to harness the forces of nature and create the modern world.
But just what is it about mathematics that makes it so special out of all the sciences? Why do so many people find math difficult and why do certain people have a particular dislike of it? Join us to find out, in the next very special edition of Science Ka Adda, with none other than our very own Dr. Pervez Hoodbhoy!
