Science’s goal is to explain everything using as few assumptions as possible, so that anyone can print it on one’s t-shirt, as popular understanding goes. From the point of view of Mathematics, that goal is already achieved... And we need only one concept. So… Why don’t we use it? Easier said than done. We use numerous ways to represent said concept, furthermore, we constantly devise new ways of representing it; and all of them have their use. Is that a problem? Let’s try it this way, we can not solve a problem that we are not able to conceptualize. Immediately it follows that better our conceptualization is, better are our chances of solving any problem. Am I implying that all we have to do, ever, is to find appropriate representation of fundamental Mathematical concept, mentioned above, and we are done? Or should we try the opposite? To try to find the best possible one for all cases? Whatever is your opinion, we do not use it, though there are immediate benefits. This book attempts to show few.
