It sounds like they are trying to convince people there is another kind of math, in which two plus two equals three, or five. Which math do you prefer? There is only one math. |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77025137 It sounds like they are trying to convince people there is another kind of math, in which two plus two equals three, or five. Which math do you prefer? There is only one math. Exactly. All math is math. Mathematics is too many syllables and trying to say maths is difficult on my tongue. |

There is only one math. No there isn't. There is arithmetic, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, probability, statistics, calculus.... There are many kinds of math. Funny thing is here in the US we do a very good job of segregating these different kinds of math (by how they are taught) and yet we also just leave math as singular.
