-web

-iOS

-android

Please begin copied raw text posts (lacking a screenshot that makes it apparent it is from Tumblr) with:

I dont think math has a specific definition like that, but I will say other animals can't do what dogs do. Also, we often do think of math as written symbols, but that's our human/academic perspective. Math is far more fundamental than that. All we're doing is modeling the math inherent to the universe.
