鸟会做数学,狗会做数学,甚至蝾螈也会做数学。解决数学问题的能力在所有不太可能的动物中有所展现。从知道2与3区别的猴子到能计算出最短路线的狗,动物数学家正在教给科学家许多关于数字的事。越来越多的研究团体表明自然界或许早已在人类之前就发现了数学。动物数学家的研究也许有助于解释为什么没有上学的人能做这种类型的加法、减法、乘 Birds do maths, dogs do maths, and even mathematics do math. The ability to solve mathematical problems is demonstrated in all unlikely animals. From monkeys who know 2 to 3 to dogs that can calculate the shortest route, animal mathematicians are teaching scientists a lot about numbers. More and more research groups show that nature may have discovered mathematics long before humans. The study of animal mathematicians may help explain why people who do not attend school can do this type of addition, subtraction, and multiplication.
