I agree, but wish to interject that mathematics is also a Tool used in the Communication of conceptual ideas and observations.

Some who study mathematics have found creative freedom.
The constructions of concepts that may or may not be observable in nature.
In some constructs there is great beauty of design and wonderment of existence.
There is escape from reality, as others know it, into a world of structure and form that yields comfort. For others it is a world of melancholy.
MATHEMATICS...A communication Tool, symbols of concepts,
shared among real scientist, each in quest for understanding and the sharing of knowledge.
