Actually, numbers specifically in relation to multiplication occur naturally in nature. Literally all over the place, breh
.
Have you ever heard of the fibonacci sequence? Its the spiral effect you see in leaves or seashells and it is the result of nature naturally mutiply natural entities such as the Calcium carbonate found in conch shells or the cell walls of plants by the number 1.618 exactly to create a predictable pattern of growth/shaping. Its seen so often in nature that it is often called the golden ratio.
Same could be said for the semi-exact quantity of pie (3.14) which is often found in nature. Things such as the flow of rivers, the circumfrence/growth of tree trunks, the pigmentation of animal furs are all based on the unit pie. One that most people arent aware of is that pie is an important constant in determining the space between any zebra's stripes in the wild.
I could go into more exotic concepts like the numberE or even "imaginary numbers" which can also be modeled in natural phenomena, but i'll stop here for now.
@Double Burger With Cheese , lemme just finish up by saying that those problems are most certainly usefull and do not occur for no reason. We endure the initial difficulty of learning math so that we can better defend what is ours. It doesnt escape my attention that the first atom bomb was developed by mathematicians, not soldiers. And who knows breh? perhaps you wouldve gone on to develop the black equivalent of the H-bomb if you had changed your stance on math earlier in life?
