“The strongest arguments prove nothing so long as the conclusions are not verifie…” — Roger Bacon

All science requires mathematics. The knowledge of mathematical things is almost innate in us. This is the easiest of sciences, a fact which is obvious in that no one's brain rejects it; for laymen and people who are utterly illiterate know how to count and reckon.

For the things of this world cannot be made known without a knowledge of mathematics.
