Closer, but not quite. The key is understanding. You may know how to use triple integration to find volume, but do you know why it works and the the theories behind them (well, you probably do)? While ideas allow facts to spread to additional realms, it is understanding that allows for the creation of facts. Without understanding, there is no growing, no addional knowledge gained. Understanding leads to ideas which, in turn, lead to the facts which make the universe a better place. I challenge everybody to stop using math or physics formulas until they can first prove that it is correct.
