David Taylor - Mathematics For Life

Well nothing adds up!
How can you make any sense of this world of contradictions?
And if you try to subtract?
Well that don’t work either.
You just end up with less than you started with, and who wants that?
And multiplying?
Just amplifies the problems, increasing complexity, more choices to make?
So we end up dividing ourselves
And forming fractions to argue and fight.
But the answer was always just One.
All the maths was really just meant to be fun!
