I recently received bursts of down votes and deletes of answers written in the past four years (2014 -2017). Discussions on math.meta regarding wny my answers were deleted is also deleted on May 13, 2018.
The following answers were deleted:
How are the elementary arithmetics defined?
In Whitehead & Russell's PM, does every Series contain a P1 (immedeately precedes)? (an integral part of an exchange was deleted.)
What does “meaning” mean in Whitehead and Russell's PM?
True Definition of the Real Numbers
A question on Terence Tao's representation of Peano Axioms
Book on foundational reasoning of standard arithmetics “curriculum”
What makes induction a valid proof technique?
Principle of mathematical induction
Peano's Axioms: Mathematical Philosophy
Can multiplication be defined without addition?
Proof that aleph null is the smallest transfinite number?
The following questions & answers were removed without a trace:
- In Whitehead & Russell's PM, if P is an infinite well-ordered series, can P have a last term? 04Apr18
Please think again before you decide to study "official" mathematics. There is a good chance you will waste your prime time on a huge pile of intellectual rubbish.
In the department of philosophy and mathematics new branches sprout as prolifically as lianas in the rain forest and there is a pullulation of techniques, terms and symbols producing a heterogeneous crop full of chaff that conceals a few kernels of wisdom.
