Mathematics Is Not What You Think It Is

What if I told you that mathematics saved thousands of lives during World War II-not through cryptography or weapons design, but through a simple observation about missing data? The U.S. military faced a puzzle: returning aircraft were riddled with bullet holes in their fuselages, yet the engines remained relatively unscathed. The obvious solution seemed clear-reinforce the most damaged areas. But mathematician Abraham Wald saw something no one else did. He looked at the planes that didn't come back. Those hit in the engine never made it home. The missing bullet holes told the real story. This wasn't about complex equations-it was about seeing what wasn't there, recognizing patterns in absence rather than presence. Mathematics, it turns out, isn't really about numbers at all. It's X-ray vision for reality, a way of extending common sense to see structures hidden beneath the chaos of everyday life.
