I don’t think describing mathematics as a tool do them any justice. Mathematics are an endeavour in and of themselves. It’s just an interesting subject. I think the surprising part of mathematics, where people are tempted to see the divine at least since the Pythagorean, is in how much unexpected order emerge from so few rules. Small axiomatic systems give rise to very advanced theorems. Abstractions which looked very different join in unexpected and perplexing way. I think that where the beauty of mathematics lie: they reveal connections.
