We Are All Math People

By Mike Janssen

A series on mathematics and Christianity

From baking to business decisions, planning to problem-solving, gardening to gaming – math is all around us. What’s more, math provides insight into the way the world works, fostering a greater appreciation of both creation and the Creator.

We are all math people, engaging in mathematical concepts that enrich our daily lives, whether we recognize it or not.

We Are All Math People

"Math was not handed down from on high, as if from God to Moses, fully formed and complete. Instead, despite standards of proof that are certainly different from many other disciplines, mathematical progress looks like progress elsewhere: halting, nonlinear, five steps forward and three back, attained through experimentation and conjecture before tidy proof."
