Are You Good at Math?

Uhm, I don't think I can provide references which specifically prove that a certain field is used for something. But I can find references you might approve on other grounds, if you find that helpful

There is a sense in which we are all good at mathematics.

And we are all good at mathematics, because we have been selected by natural selection to see patterns in our environment, so that we will survive and reproduce.

So just as written music is the notation, the notes, of musical sound, so mathematics is the notation, the notes, of patterns in our environment.

And it has often been noted, music and mathematics are similar.

Everywhere you look, you see patterns. In fact you perceive patterns by making distinctions, and the more distinctions, the more you see. And mathematics is made of distinctions.

Used to be amazing at it in elementary, kinda good in high school and progressively worse in college
