Question

The blind men and the elephant is a famous indian fable that tells the story of six blind sojourners that come across different parts of an elephant in their life

journeys. In turns each blind creates own version of reality from that limited experience and perspective. How you relate this story in the study of mathematics?

You relate this story in the study of mathematics, because if you look at the problem from only one side or have not enough data for making any calculations, then you can't make any reasonal and true assumptions and prove them.
