Mathematics is written for mathematicians.

I am not a mathematician, but I was aware that for centuries, mathematics was considered the queen of the sciences because it claimed certainty. It was grounded on some fundamental certainties - axioms - that led to others.

I've always considered myself more of a mathematician than a psychologist.
