2)The second most important thing to learn next to language. Math has an application in almost everything you do. Without math, the world would be a sad place.
3)An impressive concept which you could use to make dumb women think you're another Isaac Newton
4)What you become good at when you start sucking in English class

A field of study of numbers and logic that is illogical. Mathematics contradicts itself. Yes, it does. Ain't it weird? It is seen as a study that is practical; but is actually impractical, considering it is a paradox.
Pythagoras was wrong when he said that Mathematics is an absolute. Mathematics is not an absolute - because only human beings use and recognize Mathematics. Mathematics is an abstract concept or explanation for a HAPPENING in the universe. It is not a universal law; either. It is only just a clever illusion. A language and pattern of logic invented by human beings. (that only seems to make sense - because WE invented it; to make sense of the external universe.)
German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche was good in discrediting the Greeks; and making them look pretty stupid. Mathematics is only an illusion. It is not an absolute; but more of an accusation or of something that is apparent. It explains how objects work or go together. (Kind of like in languages where Indo-European grammar syntax is Nominative-Accusative; while the Basque language grammar syntax is Ergative-Absolutive.)
(When you think about it; Mathematics is just as logical as Music is. Monkeys/Apes can be taught to play instruments, but they do not understand music. They are only doing what they are told by humans, so they get rewarded with a treat.)

There are plenty of easy logical explanations for Mathematics contradicting itself. Observe in nature:
While Mathematics may apply to the Universe; it does not apply to Biology, organisms or life-forms. Only inanimate objects or abstract concepts. Strange huh? This is the logical problem of Mathematics. (at least; the Western version of it.)
For example: 1+1=1 most the time; when two humans have children. Sometimes it will equal triplets (3 children) and so on. And one can easily see the examples in Cats and Dogs or even Chicken/Ducks and other animals; who usually have a litter of descendants.
(And, why can't other animals do Math? They can only be taught it by humans; or learn from experience/instinct. Just like music instrument.)
So, I ask you, reader - if Mathematics is logical; does that mean that Life/Biology is illogical? Or is it the other way around? (That is the question. Just like "What came first - the chicken or the egg?") If Mathematics is only illusion and not absolute; this means that Pythagoras was wrong. ) In contrast; this would possibly explain that Zeno of Elea was actually right.)
Mathematics is always 99.9% There is no such thing as 100%. (this is why like in DNA paternity tests; the father will always come out as 99.9999999999% etc. in relation to a baby, and never 100%)

In addition to performance currency (when you deliver upon a product above people’s expectations) and relationship currency (when you take the time to connect, engage, and get to know people in your milieu), you need math currency to make yourself an odd in a sea of evens.

Two Musk Math questions are:
a) Guesstimate how many face masks China could produce from billionaire Musk’s obscene wealth.
b) If Mr. Musk spent ten thousand dollars every day, would he have enough money left by the time he experienced his last heartbeat?

Some parents object to teachers’ “mathematical sensitivity” or fake feedback, preferring that they’d tell their child the painful truth how poorly they had performed in their math test.
