Mathematical Objectivity and Mathematical Objects

Hartry H. Field • Oxford University Press eBooks (2001)

Abstract Focuses on an issue about the objectivity of mathematics—the extent to which undecidable sentences have determinate truth‐value—and argues that this issue is more important than the issue of the existence of mathematical objects. I...

Mathematical Capabilities of ChatGPT

Simon Frieder, Luca Pinchetti, Chevalier Chevalier, Ryan-Rhys Griffiths et al. • neural information processing systems (2023)

We investigate the mathematical capabilities of two iterations of ChatGPT (released 9-January-2023 and 30-January-2023) and of GPT-4 by testing them on publicly available datasets, as well as hand-crafted ones, using a novel methodology. In...

Mathematics without Numbers

Geoffrey Paul Hellman (1993)

Abstract Develops a structuralist understanding of mathematics, as an alternative to set‐ or type‐theoretic foundations, that respects classical mathematical truth while minimizing Platonist commitments to abstract entities. Modal logic is ...

The Nature of Mathematical Knowledge

Philip Kitcher (1985)

Abstract The Nature of Mathematical Knowledge develops and defends an empiricist approach to mathematical knowledge. After offering an account of a priori knowledge, it argues that none of the available accounts of a priori mathematical kno...

Introduction to Mathematical Logic.

Angelo Margaris, Alonzo Church • American Mathematical Monthly (1957)

is sometimes called the foundation of mathematics: the logician studies the kinds of reasoning used in the individual steps of a proof. Alonzo Church was a pioneer in the field of mathematical logic, whose contributions to number theory and...

The Mathematical Brain

Brian L. Butterworth • UCL Discovery (University College London) (1999)

The concept of numbers and the ability to recognize and process them is innate, part of everyone's intellectual apparatus whether they've had formal education or not. This instinct is not dependent on basic intelligence or general knowledge...
