Numerology is the science of the esoteric relationship between numbers and living things or physical objects.
Numerological divination was popular by early mathematicians. Pythagoras was a staunch proponent of
numerology. Today, numerology is practiced by divination practitioners.
Numerology can also be used as a term for those who place excess faith in numerical patterns. Stock market
prediction through past numerical performance is an example.
