Mathematics isn't a tool, it's an entire field, more complex than any other you can imagine, with entire parts of it dedicated to things that have no physical equivelant (are purely theoretical), at least as of now. Understanding this starts at understanding that mathematics is not a tool in itself, even if other areas of knowledge use the same tools that mathematics use - and created - themselves.
>>13713781The problem here isn't not knowing the process (there's no difference between memorising the long division algorithm and just using a calculator), it's that there's a big difference between knowing a process and knowing the basis for the process.
