Ok, so main conclusion is that unless people unite in their reading of the formulas the world will come to an end. This is because a theorem that says if you can prove that 1 = 2, then you can prove any false statement using valid operations (i.e. 1+1 = 2 + 1, 1*4 = 2*4, etc).
What is the source of math? While people figured out counting and addition on their own (Noach – animals, Moshe – accounting for Mishkan), subtraction is already clearly min hashamayim – Avraham asks whether there will be 5 tzadikim less than 50, and Hashem teaches him that this is 45.
