    Numerology

    Numerology is any of many systems, traditions or beliefs in a mystical or esoteric relationship between numbers and physical objects or living things.

    Numerology and numerological divination were popular among early mathematicians, such as Pythagoras, but are no longer considered part of mathematics and are regarded as pseudomathematics by modern scientists. by Prof John Webb, Science in Africa This is similar to the historical relationships between astrology and astronomy, and between alchemy and chemistry.

    Today, numerology is often associated with the occult, alongside astrology and similar divinatory arts.

    The term can also be used for those who, in the view of some observers, place excess faith in numerical patterns, even if those people dont practice traditional numerology. For example, in his 1997 book Numerology: Or What Pythagoras Wrought, mathematician Underwood Dudley uses the term to discuss practitioners of the Elliott wave principle of stock market analysis.

    Pythagoras and other philosophers of the time believed that because mathematical concepts were more "practical" (easier to regulate and classify) than physical ones, they had greater actuality.

    St. Augustine of Hippo (A.D. 354–430) wrote "Numbers are the Universal language offered by the deity to humans as confirmation of the truth." Similar to Pythagoras, he too believed that everything had numerical relationships and it was up to the mind to seek and investigate the secrets of these relationships o read more at » http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Numerology
