- eimrine 4y agoDo you have any better definition of math then "that what mathematicians do"?

Some computer programs can do defining also, so I do not recommend you to go to some fields of an absurd. > Perhaps asking why humans do what they do yields better answers? I think the answer will be "because they can", but I have asked HN just. Let's see, what answers will this question yield?
