This is not well defined

>>10745030
Define define.

why?

>>10745040
It shouldn't be hard since you spend so much time doing it.

>>10745059
How about I define your mother instead then.

>Define mathematics.

Definition of mathematics

1 : the science of numbers and their operations (see operation sense 5), interrelations, combinations, generalizations, and abstractions and of space (see space entry 1 sense 7) configurations and their structure, measurement, transformations, and generalizations Algebra, arithmetic, calculus, geometry, and trigonometry are branches of mathematics.

stopped reading there, dumb frogposter.

the language of God

>>10745030
>Define mathematics.
Mathematics is the art of the possible.

>>10745030
The reunion of broken parts

>>10745030
A religion that actually takes great care of its axioms, instead of violating them all the time.

>>10745030
The art of coherence.

that's all you need to know, everything else is just a re-hash of that

>science
Mathematicians do not use the scientific method.

Descriptive, defining language utilized for communication!

>>10745030
Pure logic

>>10746135
Mathematics is a supercategory of logic.

ftfy

Two definitions I'm gonna come up with. The differences between them is in how the word can be used to describe either an idea or a thing.
1) Mathematics is the study of quantifiable logic. E.g. I do Mathematics;
2) Mathematics is also a collection of ideal quantified logical paradigms, which can be used as a hypothesis for a real quantified logical paradigm. E.g. this article of mathematics describes a differential operator to represent an object in motion.

>>10746265
Wrong. The distributive property doesnt just come for free when you go from abelian groups to rings by just "rehashing" the original group operators.

>>10745030
A bunch of arbitrary made-up axioms related to numbers and the fuckton of bullshit derived from those axioms.

not science & math

>>10745030
a denotational language that builds abstractions upon the primitive theories of measurements and geometry
