^At my school they only let us take A level maths if we got an A or A* for GCSE.

Actually, us math guys can't do it either; there's too many of them. Not unless you stripped down explanations and didn't show work, but if you can't show your work, you might as well be wrong. English majors can use their skills in writing to at least attempt a theory on the workings of the world, which can incorporate math if they choose, and since they are good writers, they can be both concise and appreciable. Well, technically, they'd need two or more pages. Either way, it's like arguing whether ends-means users are superior to those who can craft the theory behind it. You need both.
Im only going by what Michio Kaku said in his book 'Physics of the Impossible.'

He said that all the equations necessary to explain the Universe could be fitted onto one page. Of course, to prove those equations are true would require many more pages, but the equations themselves occupy very little space.

How big a sheet are you talking here, buddy?

Because all I do most of my life is study those laws(and what to actually do with them, which mathmatisians can't) and I gotta tell ya, that's gotta be one hell of a sheet.
I assume he was referring to an A4 sheet.

This is the guy, in case you dont know.
