Major reforms and inventions often begin with a line of mathematics. For students, equations can look abstract on a classroom board. Yet some of them reorganised science, engineering and economics.

Let’s keep things simple – this is basic math. Nothing scary. Just everyday calculations, a bit of geometry, some number patterns, and the kind of stuff you definitely learned in school at some point.

We often assume mathematics is the one language every intelligent species must share. But while physical laws may be universal, the way minds describe and reason about those laws can vary dramatically ...
