nonmathematicians

A nonmathematician is a person who does not specialize in mathematics or have extensive training in the field. This designation is typically applied to individuals whose primary professional or academic pursuits lie in areas such as the arts, humanities, social sciences, or other disciplines that do not heavily rely on advanced mathematical concepts. It is important to note that being a nonmathematician does not imply a lack of intelligence or an inability to understand basic numerical concepts. Many professions require a functional understanding of arithmetic, statistics, or practical applications of math, but these individuals would still be considered nonmathematicians in a formal sense. The term is often used in contrast to mathematicians, scientists, engineers, or economists who engage with mathematical theory and application on a daily basis. The perception of nonmathematicians can vary, with some associating it with a disinterest or difficulty in quantitative subjects, while others see it as a reflection of diverse intellectual strengths and interests.
