There is debate over whether mathematical objects such as numbers and points exist naturally or are
human creations. The mathematician Benjamin Peirce called mathematics "the science that draws
necessary conclusions". Albert Einstein, on the other hand, stated that "as far as the laws of
mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain; and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to
reality."
Through abstraction and logical reasoning mathematics evolved from counting, calculation,
measurement, and the systematic study of the shapes and motions of physical objects. Practical
mathematics has been a human activity for as far back as written records exist. Rigorous arguments first
appeared in Greek mathematics, most notably in Euclid's Elements. Mathematics continued to develop,
in fitful bursts, until the Renaissance, when mathematical innovations interacted with new scientific
discoveries, leading to an acceleration in research that continues to the present day.
Today, mathematics is used throughout the world as an essential tool in many fields, including natural
science, engineering, medicine, and the social sciences. Applied mathematics, the branch of
mathematics concerned with application of mathematical knowledge to other fields, inspires and makes
use of new mathematical discoveries and sometimes leads to the development of entirely new
disciplines. Mathematicians also engage in pure mathematics, or mathematics for its own sake, without
having any application in mind, although practical applications for what began as pure mathematics are
often discovered later. (University T. T., 2023)
Mathematics in our world tackles whether this study is reality or not. No one can really prove the effects
of mathematics in our everyday lives. From counting hours, minutes, seconds the currency kilograms,
meter, length, width etc. Leonardo Fibonacci a Italian Mathematician his father was a merchant
Guglielmo Bonacci. Merchant calculate the sea his son Leonardo was sent to study calculation to Egypt,
Syria, Greece, Sicily, and Provence where he studied numerical system and methods of calculation.
Fibonacci father read the sea and found a pattern behind it his son created a theory of it that it can be
found in flower petals, sunflower seeds, tree branches, pineapples, pine cone, faces, body parts, fruits,
vegetables, trees, shells, spiral galaxies, typhoon and DNA molecules.

Since Fibonacci father is a merchant reading a map is a calculation. There is a distance ground distance
and air distance you will calculate that using the scale it depends on what type of map your using. We
have use mathematics before this centuries and it help us conquer every era of human civilization.
