x+3 = 2(x-4)
x+3 = 2x-8
x+11= 2x
11 = x
In Charles S. Finch III, M.D. book 'The Star of Deep Beginnings: The Genesis of African Science and Technology' he states that the Ishango Bones/harpoons of Zaire are the oldest mathmatical artifacts on record. They date from 70,000 to 90,000 years ago and are in close relation to the Rhind Mathmatical Papyrus which dates back nearly 40,000 years ago.

Mathematics is the language of nature, like that movie Pi says.
It is the language/tool to describe the relations in the nature.
It is in the roots of electronics/computer engineering/physics/chemistry...
Math is not the language of nature. Math is deductive and because of that it reveals no real truths about nature. It does reveal truths of mathematical theories though.
It does not describe relations in nature. It is the job of science to do that (and math is not a subset of science).
It is not the root of those things. Science is the root of it. Math could be used to predict results and validate theories though.
