Math is a private thing. Many people learn math to show off intelligence or they tell others it’s simply interesting because of certain properties of math, some people learn math, because of the mystery of life, philosophy, and an urge to understand themselves and the world in an accurate and theoretical way. Being humble is what’s prevalent in math learners, and those who take humility as a valuable quality achieve more than those who don’t.

Saying math is a private thing, is because as you grow older, you will find more of the mathematical pieces of yourself that are under developed, and you wish to complete them, at the same time express them. Sometimes the latter seems more important than the former.
Expressing yourself in mathematics includes having a good understanding of what your components are. Without the former, however, you cannot figure out what you really are made of and hence cannot express yourself properly.

For people who truly love math, expressing their mathematical self is a key element in socialization. For them, socializing is practising math. Learning math is a way to help you discover parts of yourself, and develop them fuller and closer to perfect. Perfection is almost the goal in any art, so as it is in math. Math is a mental sport and it is also an art.  When you practice them, you employ the beautiful structures that can be expressed in math, and that are the parts of self which are being expressed.

The same applies to understanding outward. The world around you and other people. People have different mathematical structures and people can be beautiful. When a person fails to understand the mathematical nature of human beings, they are making human beings illogical, and intuitively, illogicality is the start of bad behaviours as they come from bad properties of the structures that are induced to exhibit them.

Mathematics could be holy. When humans have completed the structures that are self-discovered and perfected them to an extent, their exhibited behaviours are nice and orderly, there we pierce into the realm of religion, and it is exactly the math which enabled them to do that, or the mathematical nature of things delineated the nice behaviours, overriding all things illogical. In that sense, math could be one’s religion too!

Mathematical sociology analyzes social behaviours in humans and societies in such a way that we see things as mathematical objects and measure, model, and construct things however we want in the world of math.
