Journal 53: Reasoning and Insight

I agree with this quotation because me myself has the same findings. I can say that I have somewhat suffered from memorizing all the intricate equations of mathematics. What makes the equations so hard to understand is that unlike Sciences, you cannot observe the reasons behind a certain equation in everyday life. The number system itself is not a discovery; it is simply a creation by a creator. It is the creator that determines the meaning of each concept in math, and not what we have observed in life. The computational methods are not observational either; it is directly created by mathematicians. On the other hand, the field of science usually contains findings from experiments and observations. There is no creator behind a concept in the field of science; scientists only name what they have found. For example, when the scientists discovered cells, they name what related ti the whole subject. What makes the field of science easier to memorize and more insightful is that we can memorize more profoundly by investigating and observing for ourselves. Not only does the evidence from observations serve as insight of the world, but also the “rigorous reasoning” as in math. In result, science is a subject of valued insight to find out tiny place; mathematic is a rigorous way of reasoning to put the equations in different ways for eauations.
