the problem with mathematics is that it does not dive deeper into the meaning of words and statements, and leaves it to philosophy and linguistics. As you can see here, stated in the introduction of Principia Mathematica, on page xv. This would mean that the assigment of words and concept from natural language to mathematical notions is not as rigorous as it seems. So, in search of further rigour, you'd need to venture into philosophy, semantics and grammar.
