what is mathematical truth?
The discoveries of non-Euclidean geometries were the results of questions concerning the axiomatic bases of mathematics.

Therefore, like religions, mathematics is also based on faith. –> Reply With Quote –> 07-29-2005 06:08 PM #2 Guille View Profile View Forum Posts Private Message View Blog Entries View Articles The Thinker Join Date Mar 2005 Posts 3,278 Blog Entries7 Thanks Given 0 Thanked 0x in 0 Posts Rep Power 52 There is another thread I can’t remember where, that you started, and I have replied, and it is about this.
