Science and Philosophy - 9

Back to some Science and Philosophy

Let me tell you once again - It is nothing new I am telling  - It was already there

And some of the humans tried and even trying now over centuries to reason out the cause, reason and effect of all the things that come their way in existence and tried to formulate. This gave way to the sciences and resulted in subjects

When in the earlier notes I wrote something about the subjects Maths, Biology , Physics and Chemistry and interlinks between and tried to relate thought to the physical objects and also some space time and Universe though it was not strongly established. They were more or less like introductions.

Now let us understand from knowing all these subjects what ultimately we are trying to establish and find.

Let us start with Maths on a fast track

Initially it may be the requirement to count and human developed numbers to count the number of items he was having for eating like fruits, hunted animals etc., which are physical objects and seasons, days and nights etc.,which are abstract .

Later he developed simple mathematical operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, division to do calculations easy and fast.

Initially this subject was limited and was not much of use to human because his only issue was to understand the environment and survive and survival is more important.

He may have tried on trial and error basis to interact with all the objects with life, without life and understand which will be harmful to him and which was not.

Some more progress and after he understood how to survive and then started what he can do with the materials available and how to use. When usage started then he found the need of Maths as told above.
Further after the simple operations like addition he tried to understand the shape and came out with geometry and further formulating resulted in algebra and trigonometry.
The other subjects and sciences are also had parallel development.
After some more development and human started grouping and colonizing there emerged the requirement of land measurement and along with governance there started the requirement of taxation etc.,
Initially numeral system was with sign value notations and the revolution in maths actually started with the introduction of zero to maths, subsequently  the decimal system and binary system were introduced. These systems are derived based on the requirement to express in exactness and binary system only uses "0" and "1" to express everything is used internally in all modern computers. Hexadecimal and Octal numeral systems were also developed.

Then followed the negative numbers, further rational, irrational, real numbers, complex numbers which have various scientific applications and these were developed as per the requirements.

After some basics were fulfilled he started thinking of sky regarding which he was earlier wondering and applying new found mathematical principles of arithmetic, geometry, trigonometry and came out with astronomical basic principles.
To formulate further, things which change within limit and infinitely also he found calculus.
Further calculus is bifurcated into differential and integral calculus where differential calculus is required to find the rates at which quantities change and integral calculus is used to calculate different volumes etc., of different shapes and have various applications in astronomy and other sciences.
Done ... done.. done... so much of Maths but where all this will lead to....
All this is done to simply understand the nature in its exactness and precision and even all other sciences destination is the same which we can talk about in next posts.
And why you want to understand the nature - because you want to know about yourself as you and me humans are part of the nature and moreover you are there and existing. No other go sir.
And what you will do after understanding the nature???
Use it for various means to derive happiness.
And what is happiness???
Just define this for yourself - Your life's puzzle will be solved
