Abstract
In a first contact with nature, a child enjoys a glazed tile, a colorful pattern of a fabric, or a pebble rounded in a river by the grinding with other pebbles. When we learn at school or university the more formalized physical description of nature, such direct elementary experiences do no longer play the most important role — the remarkably possible description of the physical events by a mathematical language comes to the foreground.
