| | | | | This post is a follow-up on some somewhat off-hand comments that I made earlier regarding the notion of truth in a "proof-based" discipline such as pure mathematics or theoretical computer science. Since the former is easier to circumscribe and also has a larger literature available on it, for the purposes of the post I will... | |

| | | | | [AI summary] The discussion revolves around the philosophical and methodological pluralism in mathematics, emphasizing that mathematics is a human-made construct with historical developments rather than an absolute, universal truth. Key points include the idea that different mathematical frameworks (e.g., classical vs. intuitionistic logic, paraconsistent logic) represent distinct 'worlds' of mathematics, each with its own standards and validity. The conversation highlights the importance of acknowledging these pluralistic perspectives without assuming a single, unifying foundation. It also touches on the role of context, the evolution of mathematical concepts, and the implications of relativism for the future of mathematics. The discussion underscores that ... | |

| | | Connections in mathematics: games and graphs John Nash is famous for his creation of what has become one of the central notions of modern game theory---his concept of what is a ``solution" for a non-zero sum game. For this work he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences in 1994, along with John Harsanyi... | ||
