Historically it was also the art of making precise drawings.

BackOnMyBS@lemmy.autism.place âš2â© âšmonthsâ© agoIâm no STEM major, so I may be way off, but this is how I see it.
V = IR isnât math. Itâs a way of defining the relationship and outcome of two specific physical qualities. It says that we combine the resistance of a medium Âź with the current flowing through it (I) into another joint quality we call voltage (V). We do this because it makes our understanding of the physical world easier to manage since this relationship has helpful applications.
Math is simply patterns in the relationships of quantities. It excludes any physical units or qualities. In other words, math is the art of counting.

I think youâre misunderstanding my point. Iâm not saying the relationship of V = IR means math exists, what Iâm saying is that because that relationship factually exists aliens would have a way to quantify that relationship. Because of that they would have a way to express the concepts of multiplication and division.
