A Formalist's Perspective of Mathematics
نویسنده
چکیده
According to some mathematicians, the formalist philosophy of mathematics faces the dilemma that a practising mathematician could not possibly hold a formalist conviction, although some of the weaknesses of mathematical foundations almost enforce a formalist position. I am a formalist, and in this paper I explain how this dilemma fails to materialise.

But what has not been said about this aspect is common mental practices in mathematical science and architecture knowledge that affects the work of mathematicians and past architects...
متن کاملHomomorphisms on Topological Groups from the Perspective of Bourbaki-boundedness
In this note we study some topological properties of bounded sets and Bourbaki-bounded sets. Also we introduce two types of Bourbaki-bounded homomorphisms on topological groups including, n$-$Bourbaki-bounded homomorphisms and$hspace{1mm}$ B$-$Bourbaki-bounded homomorphisms. We compare them to each other and with the class of continuous homomorphisms. So, two topologies are presented on them a...
متن کاملA Note On Dual Models Of Interval DEA and Its Extension To Interval Data
In this article, we investigate the measurement of performance in DMUs in which input and/or output values are given as imprecise data. By imprecise data, we mean that in some cases, we only know that the actual values are inside certain intervals, and in other cases, data are specified only as ordinal preference information. In this article, we present two distinct perspectives for determining...
