If you cut one in half then mathematically you have 2 1/2 apples. Or 2 0.5 apples. Which still equals one apple. I get where you're going with this, and it does actually make more sense with deeper math to an extent, but I also do kind of agree with the others that generally it's not that deep in math.

I would say math and science are a little more linked. Like "Can we do this?" Test it. You have a hypothesis, so try and find out if you can. That's basically the scientific method, but just using numbers and trying to find an answer.

But as I was finishing that last part, it made me question if I'm getting philosophical about math and what it is... so maybe?
