Solution What is mathematics? Statistics

One reason for the low level of high school students in math is totally wrong and twisted view that their teachers have and therefore give them. Most math teachers I know are not specialists in the field: are physical, chemical, computer and give students their own (and wrong) view of mathematics.
The next example I gave it to John, a peculiar kind and admirable (I'll talk about it.) Convincingly illustrates the difference between mathematics and other sciences:

any course in any college math professor comes into class, and without saying a word written on the blackboard:

2 +2 = ?

loose chalk and see their students waiting for a response. They puzzled respond in chorus:

2 +2 = 4

The professor then pick up your chalk and writes

4 =?

perplexed students do not know what to say. Finally, one of them dares to say: Infinity?

That's the difference between mathematics and other sciences. Mathematics has more to do with creativity and the pursuit of beauty in science and mathematics.
