Mathematics in my mind is the language of the world. Euclid was Greek, fractions originated in Egypt and an Englishman solved a Frenchman's Last Theorem. Mathematics is the heart of the world. The world is governed by nature, which is ruled by laws that are formulated by physics, which only exists because of mathematics. So why are there pictures of carpets and architecture? Why not a huge figure of pi? Well, believe it or not, these pictures are related by two factors. The first is easy to recognize if you are Muslim, have been to a Middle Eastern Country, visited a Mosque or have Muslim friends. They are all prevalent in the Muslim World.   --Taheer Kasmani
