But, math is a very good language to use when discussing science because it is formal and so doesn't let as much bad reasoning enter in.
But it is only a language when used in the sciences.
The other day I was supervisor in charge at the plant. I took my math analisys book and scribble notebook there. The other supervisor in charge of the slaughter asked me why I took that book instead of going on the net etc.
Well, that stumbled me a bit indeed. I think it's in my nature. The book has awesome proof questions. Did some during the shift. Night shift mind you.
