Two short texts about mathematics and philosophy

Abstract

In the philosophy of mathematics, formalism is the view that holds that statements of mathematics and logic can be considered to be statements about the consequences of the manipulation of strings (alphanumeric sequences of symbols, usually as equations) using established manipulation rules.

In Platonism, the truth-values of our mathematical assertions depend on facts involving Platonic entities that reside in a realm outside of space-time.

ABSTRACT

In the philosophy of mathematics, formalism is the view that holds that statements of mathematics and logic can be

considered to be statements about the consequences of the manipulation of strings (alphanumeric sequences of

symbols, usually as equations) using established manipulation rules.

In Platonism, the truth-values of our mathematical assertions depend on facts involving Platonic entities that reside

in a realm outside of space-time.

In the philosophy of mathematics, constructivism asserts that it is necessary to find (or "construct") a specific example

of a mathematical object in order to prove that an example exists.

For Logicism, mathematics is an extension of logic, some or all of mathematics is reducible to logic, or some or all of

mathematics may be modelled in logic.

INTRODUCTION

In the philosophy of mathematics, constructivism

asserts that it is necessary to find (or "construct") a

specific example of a mathematical object in order to

prove that an example exists.

For Logicism, mathematics is an extension of logic,

some or all of mathematics is reducible to logic, or

some or all of mathematics may be modelled in logic.

MAIN TEXT

As a Platonist, I wrote : In : Mathematics: A

philosophical approach to Fermat Last Theorem

https://www.ashese.co.uk/ajps-v3-issue-2/about-

elementary-particles-of-physics

The equation with

infinite products zzz…z…=xx…x…+yy…y… with z>y

has no solution in the universe where only the

restricted axiom CC(2 through x) is true. It is because

otherwise the infinite products xx…x… and yy…y…

exist but not zzz…z… and we cannot have a side of the

equation existing and the other not.

And I added in another publication that Desargues

wrote about the infinite in geometry in the 17th century

in France.

And in Logic Colloquium 2004 in Italy, I wrote :

For the continuum hypothesis Here is a tentative axiom

from me to try to prove it.

Axiom : An infinite subset of the power set of N has a

bijection either with a countable union of (pair wise

disjoint) sets of n elements or with a countable

Cartesian products of (pair wise disjoint) sets of n

elements.

Mr Andreas Blass proved that this axiom is equivalent

to the continuum hypothesis.

CONCLUSION

Each philosophy makes some one using it good at

some of the tasks.

Formalism makes some one good at combining

properties.

Platonism makes some one good at solving problems.

Logicism makes some one good at checking every

thing. Constructivism makes some one good at

focusing on things very real.

However, capitalism brought extreme specialization

and some people are not using any philosophy of

mathematics.

Short communication about the mathematical sky In

the non-physical sky, there is the sky of Ideas or Forms

of Plato and beside the sky of Ideas there is the sky of

spiritual energies and beside the sky of spiritual

energies there is the mathematical sky.

One question is are spiritual enegies destroyed by the

Big Crunch of the universe ?

But the important question is : are all the thoughts

registered as mathematical waves in the mathematical

sky ?

Some thoughts may seem not important and turn out

to be important.

So, may be all thoughts should be registered.

People with outstanding intuition can read from the

mathematical sky.

Reading from the mathematical sky may seem to be

telepathy.

Nowadays people must learn some sobriety for the

div for more activity of the mind.

There is not a philosophy quite new from the Western

World because of extreme specialization since 60 years

ago.

Beyond capitalism is the resolution of management

problems by analysis of causes in total quality

management.
