is it possible to reduce any mathematical operation to a process of simply adding something
for instance,
mulitiplication can be reduced to addition
e.g.
2*3 = 2+2+2
division
e.g.
3/2 = 3*1/2 = 0.5+0.5+0.5
exponents
e.g.
2^3 = 2*2*2=2+2+2+2
is calculus, geometry, linear algebra, stochastic calculus etc. in the end nothing else then addition or subtraction of numbers in a systematic way?
