Some responses were that Math is problem solving, it is anything to do with numbers, or, as I originally thought, a way to model what we see around us in a methodical manner (you can see my physics background show here). After some further thought on the topic, however, I'm changing my view a bit. Three brothers inherit 35 camels... In a slightly modified version of the well known Arabic Algebra problem, our professor told us that there are three brother's whose father left a will telling them how to divide their camels.
