In geometry, we always start with axioms. Axiom of a point. Then follow the definitions of the line, plane, co-ordinate system. Thereupon built up are the various theorems and thier proofs till the enormous field of modern animation. So is the way with any scientific stream. Sciences depend more on experiments for their deductions. With the advent of programming, we see lots of mathematics, algorithms, heuristics, data churning and simulations taking pace aiding experiments. Looking at the genesis of every field and thinking why it is the way it is as it is, leads to an interesting sea of possibilities. I start with the numeral system we use.
