Mathematics is heavily based on finding logic behind certain things and finding solutions of the logic through the use of numbers. Mathematics is clearly not an easy subject and this quote shows mathematics as being a difficult area of knowledge as finding logic through basic actions or basing things we do in life because it is hard to be able to observe thing and the way it works just through a system of numbers.
Finding out the basic logic behind numbers is something very difficult and the quote shows how the goal of the mathematician is quite a reach as it is compared to a blind man in a dark room trying to look for a cat. This quotation represents the difficult of maths as being an area of knowledge as we can look at past attempts of mathematicians trying to figure out a formula that helps figure out a woman. It is quite an absurd goal as a formula cannot really figure out how a woman looks.
Mathematics is able to figure out the formulas and equations to some certain actions and it surely is able to predict the outcome for those actions but for most daily life actions or just in general things that occur, it is difficult to use numbers and signs to base on how those things work because daily life actions vary due to different circumstances and the situation isn't always constant so therefore using a formula will not accurately determine how a situation would play out. This can be triggered to the past with mathematics being used to determine what's the perfect on cheese on toast going to be like.
Darwins quote makes it seem like it is almost impossible for Mathematics as an Area of Knowledge to work efficiently in the real world and them goals mathematicians set in solving out these problems tend to be absurd. The reality is that it is very difficult to use just numbers to predict action and mathematics is a bit too theoretical in this regard as it is very difficult to be able to translate those theories successfully into action.
