To those who don’t think there is a connection to math skill and civilization, just examine the areas of the world and how they compare to construction of bridges, cities, highways. Note that in the advanced areas wherein math is (or was) essential part of education, they have cities made of steel, glass, cement and go upward. Bridges made of steel designed to be strong and some artistically pleasant and highways that endure travel by many thousands of vehicles per hour some baring heavy loads. Meanwhile in the less math infused cultures what does one find: Bridges made of hemp, cities made of
one story concrete blocks or reeds, and highways that are used by animals as game trails.
