How does the human brain do math?

Asked by talljasperman (21916points) August 26th, 2011

For example when a person decides what angle and strength to throw a ball to hit a target…? The process smacks of calculus and trigonometry. Is the part of the brain that exclusively uses advanced math exist… If so how did it evolve and what else can the human brain do that smacks of advanced math?
