Science and human conditions advanced dramatically after the discovery almost four centuries ago that nature could be analyzed and described mathematically. When the ideas of science are described in mathematical terms, they are unambiguous. They don’t have the double meanings that so often confuse the discussion of ideas expressed in common language. When findings in nature are used mathematically, they are easier to verify or disprove by experiment. The abstract math developed by mathematicians is often years later found to be the exact language by which nature can be described. The methods of mathematics and experimentation led to enormous success in science.
