Quote: "By defining all the truths he could think of, he was able to build many proofs about numbers and shapes that we have used ever since. Once of his most wide-reaching proofs was about prime numbers. "
Questions: Could we use this method to accomplish other things? Does topics in other subject also associate themselves with this?
Comments: Okay, I'll admit, I didn't read a lot of it. It was a little lethargic sounding, but I did find a quote I thought could sort of compare to my life now. When he talked about defining all the truths, it reminded me of how I do math. It's like.. the first truth is that you sold the problem. You have defined that work. The second truth is checking your work. By checking your work, you are defining another truth. After defining all those truths, you basically have a completed building block of math. I thought that was just interesting to compare something like that to a small scale use of arithmetic.
