How the fuck are you gonna do any higher math if you can't even properly transform an integral involving gamma functions, Bessel functions or zeta functions? You know, in analytic number theory, analysis of PDEs or stochastic processes you get that shit all the time and you need to derive strict upper bounds or establish convergence. But you're just a high school moron who thinks he's a genius for doing calculus 1, so you probably never even heard of those special functions.

The systematic use of observation in science has nothing to do with the epistemological dogma of empiricism. Please educate yourself, you cringeworthy, philosophically illiterate troglodytes.

Can you be any more wrong?

1. Logic is not a field of philosophy but a field of math. It has been formalized by mathematicians in the 19th century and ever since that happened philosophers do not understand it anymore. Philosophy students are taught merely an extremely dumbed down version of first order logic at best. Every 20th century logician has been a mathematician, i.e. had a math degree.

2. Math is not derived from logic. Unless you're explicitly doing research in mathematical logic, you'll never ever need formal logic in math. Proofs are not written as deductions from axioms within a formal deductive systems in any branch of math other than logic. Working mathematicians do not need to know anything about logic other than basic notions of inference such as those tested in IQ tests.

Is this what trolling on /sci/ has become? At least the 0.999 threads were somehow believable. But this? This is just cringeworthy.

>To prove something in general is math.
Too bad no philosopher ever "proved" anything. All they do is asserting their opinions and beliefs. Not to mention that the concept of formal proof didn't arise early than in the late renaissance, so claiming that ancient greeks "proved" things is ridiculous.

>For any visiting /lit/friends
Lmao, I used to browse /lit/ but the anti-intellectualism over there turned out to be unbearable. That board is just another hangout for fedora'd /pol/ autists.
