Is everything made out of  numbers?

Mathematics and the physical sciences use many models of the real world. While these models are self-consistent, they also strive to be the most concise such models. Thus many more models will give the same phenomena (Take the Lagrange and Hamilton reformulations of classical mechanics, and the necessity for all new physical theories to be proven equivalent to the established physical theories under the established conditions). Quantum mechanics mathematically reduces to classical mechanics in the large-scale, relativity mathematically reduces to Newtonian mechanics at speeds much less than c or mass-energy densities that are well distributed, and so forth. \nThus, never mistake a model of the real world used for prediction, with the real world. Consider an infinite plane (no coordinate system, just a plane). There are many valid ways of measuring distance on a plane. We find the Pythagorean theorem to be the simplest such method; the theorem is not prescribed by the plane, it is prescribed by our model of the plane. The taxicab metric: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxicab_metric is also valid and is used in other circumstances where such a metric is more useful than the Pythagorean metric. The Minkowski metric is another that is useful in relativity theory. There are also a myriad of coordinate systems that we use to assign numbers to points on the plane; each system convenient to some problem at hand by being the simplest formulation. Underneath all these metrics and coordinate systems, the plane still exists unblemished by our methods of modelling it.\nNot even atoms are safe; first atoms were indivisible points, then there were really indivisible points making up the atoms such as electrons and protons, and now we are looking at subatomic particles as membrane vibrations: notes which can easily change various properties depending on the frequency of vibration in various dimensions. We like this picture because of its elegance and simplicity, but there's no reason to believe it is the "true physical nature" if such a thing exists, of the universe. Just a good way to predict events.

To quote dilbert: "Early Civilisations never had a concept of zero" (hey, you wanted it thorough right?) And they started the number system at one. .... Hmm, pretty much the panel cuts out... \nRemember, the ones and zeros are really the positive and negative polaritys on a magnetic disk. That is the key to your computer informations. Do not take a magnet to your computer.

For one, it contain all digits 0 - 9 which appears only once. They are in alphabetical order when spelt out. And it gives me two points to Yahoo! Answers.

this is possible to figure out.  What it is a combination of numbers   i will do examples to keep it simple.   If your number was 00  or 000  then the answer was 9.  well its a pattern    if your number is 001 then the answer he came up with was 8.  well then if you had 002  then it was 7.  but also on the note if your number was 011 or some combination of this number then it was 8 also  because when you take 011 and add 0+1+1 you get 2 so it was 8.   the way it works is the numbers you type in it adds them together so there is a correlating number that goes with the answer that was added together.  so... if the numer added together was 0 then it was 9.  and the number added together was 1 then he came up with 8.  added together you got 2 then he said 7.  and just keep going ... 3 is 6,   4 is 5.    also on the same account    5 is 4,  6 is 3,   7 is 2,   8 is 1,  and 9 is 0.

infinity because you could say any number  bigger than 100000000000000000000000000000000000 is infinity

Don't overlook the fact that numbers are entirely an artifice.  Mathematics is not a 'natural' science, such as physics.  It is a contrivance, a tool used to understand the physical world.

Pi is an infinite number. That means that it goes on forever. No one can calculate all of it. Currently, the computers can calculate only a small fraction of it.

Does 0.9999999999999999999999999....(continued) = 1.0\n\nA great topic in maths which will actually interest people because the above statement is true.

One secret that pi is still holding from us is whether its digits are really random. Although it seems to be true, nobody has been able to prove it yet.

1) Natural Numbers are numbers that you count.  They are 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 and so on and so forth starting with one.\n2) Whole numbers are numbers that have no decimals.  They are like -1,0,1,2,3,4,5 and so on towards positive and negative infinty.\n3) Integers are the same as whole numbers.\n4) Rational numbers are numbers that can be expressed in a fraction.  Like 21/7ths.\n5) Irrational numbers are numbers that cannot be expressed in a fraction.  Like the square root of 6.5.\n6) Decimals are pieces of a number like .12 dogs or .75 cups of water.\n7) Repeating decimals are decimals the repeat forever.  Such as 1/3 is .3333333 repeating.\n8)  Terminating decimals do not repeat forever.\n9) Solution sets are sets that solve a problem.\n10) Finite sets are sets that have a final answer.\n11) Infinite sets go on forever.\n12) Empty or null set is a problem with no answer.  It looks like a circle with a line through it.\n13) Domain is what x values the function passes through.\n14) An open sentence is a sentence the doesn't end.\n15) An equation is two things connected by a equals sign.  Such as 4x+y=13-7a\n16) Inequalites are two things connected by a greater then or less then sign.  15>2.\n17) Addition is adding numbers 4+5=9.\n18) Multiplication is timesing numbers like 4x5=20.\n19) Polynomials are numbers with more then one term.  Like 4x+5+6y

When you are dividing by something you are trying to find out how many of a certain amount (say, 3) is in another amount (say, 12). The result for my example, is of course 4, since 3 goes into the number 12 four times.\n\nNow the number 0 is nothing, literally. So if you're dividing into, say 12, you're wondering how much nothing is in 12. That's just not possible, because 12 is all "something".\n\nI hope that's clear enough...I tried.\n\nEdit: The guy above me is wrong.

Paramount, everything the computer does is math.\n\nUsing the 0 & 1 to make up all known numbers and characters and to use logical math pathways to calculate instructions in the CPU, the very basis of a computer works in math.

I can think of infinite numbers

Yes, it is. We live with math every day. Even a person who barely finshed high school and struggling to make ends meet will use math everyday.\nExamples: Anything and everything to do with money. Paying bills, buying stuff, arranging mortgage etc.,\nCooking: You use ratios, propertions, fractions percentages, to figure out recipes when you are doubling them, halving them etc.\nIf you are decorating your house or working on your garden - you use a lot of geometry, like measuring out the floor space etc.\nDressmaking - You figure out the amount of material you would require - form of geometry my dear.\nThe list could just go on.\nIf you are on medication - the dosage is generally decided on --grams/kg body weight.\nOrganising your day - planning schedules, alarms, time management etc.\nand the list would go on.
