is very useful in economics you know but the way that math is used in neoclassical economics it would be like using you know vedic sanskrit to translate train timetables you know i mean people are more impressed with the math in neoclassical economics than the actual underlying thing of what it's saying you can code for a subject of economics but you have to realise the limitations of the math that you can use you know so for example very simply you can't use. continuous methods in mathematics you know the thought process in economics is discrete you know there's only an ordinal nature to the way you can describe things you know there is one use for water and then there is another yes there isn't one in the whole of uses in between so that automatically restricts the kind of months that you can use. but it's still math that can be used nevertheless so so in many years economics you could you'd be using things more like discrete mathematics topology set theory that kind of thing rather than sort of statistical mathematics which assumes that sort of interaction is in a certain linear wa
