I strongly disagree. Mathematics is a way for us to understand the world around us. Math is how our brain works. Nature doesn't like to behave the way we think.

The places where mathematics are most effective are those situations with the fewest assumptions -- particle physics, for example.

The more complex the system, the more it defies mathematical understanding and the "fuzzier" the subject.

So you are saying that mathematics wouldn't exist if we humans didn't?

Wouldn't the reality that we humans attempt to explain with math and science still exist?
