KNOWLEDGE
MATHEMATICS

SCOPE:• IS ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY ATTAINABLE IN

MATHEMATICS?

Absolute Certainty is not obtainable inside Mathematics. This is because

absolute certainty means being infallible, which is something that
nobody, not a human, or any living thing, can achieve.

METHODS AND TOOLS:HOW DO MATHEMATICIANS RECONCILE THE FACT THAT

SOME CONCLUSIONS SEEM TO CONFLICT WITH OUR INTUITIONS?

Some mathemeticians reconcile with it by claiming that it is a meaningless game, and others

say that the math improves on the logic for their intuitions. This is because of how people try

to hyperfocus on their Intuitions being correct, so they will try to connect the result to their

intuitions, even if it did not relate.

ETHICS -
Mathematicians have the ethical responsibility to hand in as much
reliable work as possible
Math has the power to influence someones beliefs and knowledge
One of the most important parts of the ethical area of math is to be
honest about their work and its limitations.
Mathematicians have to think long term to avoid causing future
problems with their work that may not be affecting right now.

PERSPECTIVE -
The Knowledge perspective is the wrong perspective to see
Mathematics in
The example for the 1 plus 1 pencils are 2 pencils
Knowledge perspective to math may be delusional.
