How can mathematical induction exist if all math is based on already preexisting set of inducted rules (axioms).

It must be, that math is all deduction.
Science is mainly induction and some deduction, since we're haven't uncovered all the axioms of nature.
So how can there exist mathematical induction?

b/c 'mathematical induction' as a method of proof is not the same as 'inductive reasoning'

try harder

>> No.5739424

>>5739412
oh i see.
Because it sounded really weird.
Since math isn't a science but based on absolute rules and all you have to do is to deduct on that foundation.

Okay, wow, no, not at all, when ever you're using a number you're using inductive reasoning simply by the fact of treating with a set of 'coordinates', go ahead, do math with 0/0=1

>>5739424
Mathematical induction is in fact deductive, not inductive. One thing you'll realize is that mathfags don't like philosophy fags and they name several things in ways that piss off philosophy fags. An example is 'mathematical morality'.

>>5739709
Is this supposed to be coherent?

1=2
0/0=1
0.999...=1

Choose one or account for each independently, todays math is fucking baby tier, only because the practicallity of using those functions as extensions to the dimensions hasnt been correlated yet

Been seeing a concerning upsurge of schizophrenics on /sci/ lately.

Agreed. Wish they'd go back to r9k.

whats inductive about it?

>> No.5739786

They're evenly split between /x/ and /r9k/ if you lurk both. But the /r9k/ ones are self aware of their schizo behavior so take that as you will.

>> No.5739791

>>5739784
That they're simply saying "All of them!" to the extent of when together they are neither and all so simply one!
