Human life revolves around a context, which affects not only personal circumstances (eg economic, social and behavioral), but also 'extrapersonal', as the situation in the country in which we live, the climate, the type of environment. Therefore, one can not pretend to understand or know a man if one ignores the context in which it is inserted, what would mean the words of Primo Levi if he had not been found to live (pardon. suffer ..) in the Nazi era in the concentration camp at Auschwitz? Certainly they painted the picture a tired man, desperate, exhausted by continuous work and sacrifices, but they take a nuance, connotation and meaning totally different if placed in the dehumanizing context of war and hatred that the writer was Day by day, to face. So the context is not only outline of our experiences, a note in the margins of our lives, but part of us and of our humanity. If we, the very fact of living, leads inevitably to come into contact with what surrounds us : other people and the environment. That these, then, have different influence from person to person but of course ... The context, therefore, like a puzzle , is that from which part of the understanding, the frame and the common matrix of our adventures, pieces of the puzzle (in the case of Levi, the war that has influenced all its work).
What does the math with all this? It is nothing but a language with which man is expressed and as such is not independent of the 'set of conditions that constitute a context: it is subjected to a series of laws, formalisms, rules, symbols, that need to be explained to be understood thoroughly. It 's a m and t to f or r of life in them' over there 'not, in which the elements are placed in a context that can not be neglected .
conclude with a passage from 'Assayer' the great Galileo Galilei, which of these things if it meant a lot: " philosophy is written in this grand book which stands continually open before our eyes (I say the universe), but it can not be understood without first learns to comprehend the language and know the characters, I 'which is written. He is written in mathematical language, and its characters are triangles, circles and other geometric figures, without which means it is humanly impossible to understand a word, without these, one is wandering around in a dark labyrinth . "Mathematics is, therefore, ultimately, the language that allows you to reach the inner structure and description of the world .
