Mathematics, because, of its unambiguous nature, is very easy to understand as there is no meaning in a mathematical statement other than what is said. It is very clear and precise.
Most of the statements in mathematics deal with exact quantity. There is nothing like a few hours later, or at some distance. The quantities or values are exact.
