      I think maths is more than equations; it’s about studying reasoning and structure. In that sense, everything in the world is connected to maths.
      Languages? They have grammar, which is structure, and can be analysed mathematically.
      Travel? All logistics and planning, which requires (mathematical) reasoning skills.
      Art? Determining if an artwork is a forgery requires careful (mathematical) analysis of the brushwork and colour usage. The art itself is also an expression of the artist, who shares their own picture of the world — which is influenced by how they think, reason, and connect ideas. Ultimately, that’s all maths!
