Math is a humanities subject and you can not convince me otherwise
>>
>>17088975
It's kinda its own thing.
>>
>>17088976
Math is completely conceptual and made up with no proper anchir in reality, which makes it a humanities subject
>>
>>17088981
If a theorem can be reduced to Peano axioms then you can empirically verify it by counting your fingers.
>>
>>17088981
Since when is that the relevant distinction between science and humanities? Are you saying theoretical physics is a humanities subject? Lol.
>>
Poor nigger bait thread.
>>
>>17088995
There is no such thing as theoretical physics. Most subjects are simply things we cant measure yet but probably will be able to in the future, like it was the case with quantum physics

Theoretical physics is just normal physics from the future

Empirically verify a theorem by counting your fingers" — congrats, you've just proven that 2+2=4 for the one universe consisting of your two hands. Gödel is spinning in his grave fast enough to power a small city. A theorem quantifies over ALL natural numbers, but sure, your ten sausages are definitely going to settle Hilbert's program.

>>17089017
Just need a few more fingies. No biggie.

>>17088975
House wouldn't say that. Although, maybe when snarking Taubs dumb idea.

>>17089019
I dont care who the glowies send, im not going to Ukraine
>>
>>17089030
What if they send mathematicians?
>>
>>17089028
He kinda does say something very similar. In S4 E10 while talking with Wilson

>>17089034
What are they gonna do? Try to deal psychic damage to me by reciting the entirety of the Big Bang Theory from their heads?
>>
>>17089036
>What are they gonna do?
Count with infinity hypothetical fingers.

Mathematics is very specialized branch of linguistics interested in formal grammars used for computation and logical reasoning, mostly focusing on determining which statements are grammatically correct within said grammar.
The last part often causing confusion due to mistaking "grammatically correct" for "true" or the opposite - "grammatically incorrect" for "false", when in reality to assign (any) logical value (which itself is an arbitrary construct of said grammar, not a general absolute) to a statement it first must be grammatically correct within said grammar.

Thank you for agreeing with me

Honestly, i've always seen it closer to philosophy than to natural science. Except maybe geometry
>>
>>17090465
Geometry isnt math, its physics
