The universe cannot be read until we have learnt the language and become familiar with the characters in which it is written. It is written in mathematical language, and the letters are triangles, circles and other geometrical figures, without which means it is humanly impossible to comprehend a single word.

As Galileo emphasized, mathematics is a tool for understanding the world and improving the environment in which we live.
