It’s a figure of speech. Math is everywhere, but not everyone have access to it. So math isn’t actually everywhere.

- greydius 10y agoThat's my point. The real question is whether "having access to it" is of value to people. I tend to say yes because I love knowledge and take any opportunity I can to better understand the universe I am part of. But not everyone feels this way.
- samastur 10y agoThat's an odd argument to make. It would be like saying that printed word is not everywhere if you are illiterate (or just not familiar with society's alphabet). I see math similar to many other types of knowledge. You can get by with fairly little, but the more you know, more often you will recognize opportunities to use it.
