03: Mathematical logic and foundations
Introduction
Mathematical Logic is the study of the processes used in mathematical deduction. The subject has origins in philosophy, and indeed it is only by nonmathematical argument that one can show the usual rules for inference and deduction (law of excluded middle; cut rule; etc.) are valid. It is also a legacy from philosophy that we can distinguish semantic reasoning ("what is true?") from syntactic reasoning ("what can be shown?"). The first leads to Model Theory, the second, to Proof Theory. Students encounter elementary (sentential) logic early in their mathematical training. This includes techniques using truth tables, symbolic logic with only "and", "or", and "not" in the language, and various equivalences among methods of proof (e.g. proof by contradiction is a proof of the contrapositive). This material includes somewhat deeper results such as the existence of disjunctive normal forms for statements. Also fairly straightforward is elementary first-order logic, which adds quantifiers ("for all" and "there exists") to the language. The corresponding normal form is prenex normal form. In second-order logic, the quantifiers are allowed to apply to relations and functions to subsets as well as elements of a set. (For example, the well-ordering axiom of the integers is a second-order statement). So how can we characterize the set of theorems for the theory? The theorems are defined in a purely procedural way, yet they should be related to those statements which are (semantically) "true", that is, statements which are valid in every model of those axioms. With a suitable (and reasonably natural) set of rules of inference, the two notions coincide for any theory in first-order logic: the Soundness Theorem assures that what is provable is true, and the Completeness Theorem assures that what is true is provable. It follows that the set of true first-order statements is effectively enumerable, and decidable: one can deduce in a finite number of steps whether or not such a statement follows from the axioms. So, for example, one could make a countable list of all statements which are true for all groups.

54: General topology
Introduction
More formally, a topological space is a set X on which we have a topology a collection of subsets of X which we call the "open" subsets of X. The only requirements are that both X itself and the empty subset must be among the open sets, that all unions of open sets are open, and that the intersection of two open sets be open. This definition is arranged to meet the intent of the opening paragraph. However, stated in this generality, topological spaces can be quite bizarre; for example, in most other disciplines of mathematics, the only topologies on finite sets are the discrete topologies (all subsets are open), but the definition permits many others. Thus a general theme in topology is to test the extent to which the axioms force the kind of structure one expects to use and then, as appropriate, introduce other axioms so as to better match the intended application. For example, a single point need not be a closed set in a topology. Does this seem "inappropriate"? Then perhaps you are envisioning a special kind of topological space, say a a metric space. This alone still need not imply the space looks enough like the shapes you may have seen in a textbook; if you really prefer to understand those shapes, you need to add the axioms of a manifold, perhaps. Many such levels of generality are possible.

26. Godel And Godel's Theorem: Math
of math, in terms of TNT, and in terms of Gödelized TNT. Zero equals zero is true. The string 0=0 is a valid TNT theorem (ie can be derived from axioms).
http://www.ncsu.edu/felder-public/kenny/papers/godel.html
by Kenny Felder In the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, one of the big mathematical goals was to reduce all of number theory to a formal axiomatic system. Like Euclid's Geometry, such a system would start off with a few simple axioms that are almost indisputable, and would provide a mechanical way of deriving theorems from those axioms. It was a very lofty goal. The idea was that this system would represent every statement you could possibly make about natural numbers. So if you made the statement "every even number greater than two is the sum of two primes," you would be able to prove strictly and mechanically, from the axioms, that it is either true or false. For real, die-hard mathematicians, the words "true" and "false" would become shorthand for "provable" or "disprovable" within the system. Russell and Whitehead's Principia Mathematica was the most famous attempt to find such a system, and seemed for a while to be the pinnacle of mathematical rigor. there is always a statement about natural numbers which is true, but which cannot be proven in the system. In other words, mathematics will always have a little fuzziness around the edges: it will never be the rigorous unshakable system that mathematicians dreamed of for millennia.

Chapter 1 of The Truth About the NCTM Standards By William G. Quirk

Knowledge Transmission
This chapter outlines the traditional "knowledge transmission" philosophy of K-12 math education. The fundamental assumptions are:
  • Math is a man-made abstraction that only exists in the human mind or in written form. There is an established body of math knowledge that different people can understand in the same correct way. There is a stable foundational "K-12 math subset" that can be understood by different K-12 students in the same correct way. K-12 math teachers can lead K-12 students to a correct understanding of K-12 math.
  • Why is K-12 Math Learned?
    The traditional reasons are:
  • For the practical math-related needs of daily life. To prepare for occupations that use math. To develop the power of the mind to think logically and abstractly. To experience the step-by-step process of building a remembered knowledge base, relative to a structured knowledge domain.

    Consistency
    (of which the petty variety is the hobgoblin of small minds) is that desirable property of a logical system which says that there are no statements which the system regards as both true and false.
    Completeness
    is the desirable property of a logical system which says that it can prove, one way or the other, any statement that it knows how to address.

    Axiom schema of specification
    In axiomatic set theory and the branches of logic mathematics , and computer science that use it, the axiom schema of specification , or axiom schema of separation , or axiom schema of restricted comprehension , is a schema of axiom s in Zermelo-Fraenkel set theory . It is also called the axiom schema of comprehension , although that term is also used for unrestricted comprehension, discussed below. Suppose P is any predicate in one variable that doesn't use the symbol B . Then in the formal language of the Zermelo-Fraenkel axioms, the axiom schema reads: or in words:
    Given any set A , there is a set B such that, given any set C C is a member of B if and only if C is a member of A and P holds for C
    Note that there is one axiom for every such predicate P ; thus, this is an axiom schema. To understand this axiom schema, note that the set B must be a subset of A . Thus, what the axiom schema is really saying is that, given a set A and a predicate P , we can find a subset B of A whose members are precisely the members of A that satisfy P . We can use the axiom of extensionality to show that this set B is unique. We denote the set

If is a line and A is a point in that subset, we say that A lies on or passes through A Axiom 1: If A and B are distinct points, then there is one and only one line that passes through them both. Axiom 2: There is a function defined for all pairs of points P,Q such that

    if and only if P=Q. This function satisfies the following properties: for all triples of points A B ,and C This axiom makes the plane into a metric space and is called the distance between P and Q Axiom 3: For each line , there is a one-to-one function, , such that if A and B are any points on AB x(A) - x(B) This mapping is not unique because we can use this same mapping and add a constant. On the other hand, it does say that each of our lines is isometric to the set of real numbers and, hence, are all isometric to one another.

    These axioms are the axioms which give us our correspondence between the real line and a Euclidean line. These are necessary to guarantee that our Euclidean plane is complete . The first axiom gives us some information about the relative sizes of segments as compared one to another. ARCHIMEDES' AXIOM. If AB and CD are any segments, then there is a number n such that if segment CD is laid off n times on the ray emanating from A , then a point E is reached where and B is between A and E This is derived from the Archimedean Axiom in the real number system. This should not be surprising, for we wish to have a one-to-one correspondence between each euclidean line and the set of real numbers . In the real line the Archimedean Postulate takes on the flavor: Archimedean Postulate: Let M and e be any two positive numbers. Then there is a positive integer n such that
    The main point for geometry is that if you choose any segment to be of unit length, then every segment has finite length with respect to this measure. Nothing can be too big

    Cantor's Uncountability Theorem Richard's Paradox The Halting Problem ... Godel's Second Incompleteness Theorem
    Diagonalization arguments are clever but simple. Particular instances though have profound consequences. We'll start with Cantor's uncountability theorem and end with Godel's incompleteness theorems on truth and provability. In the following, a sequence is an infinite sequence of 0's and 1's. Such a sequence is a function f
    Thus 10101010... is the function f with f f f
    A sequence f is the characteristic function i f i
    If X has characteristic function f i ), its complement has characteristic function 1 - f i Cantor's Uncountability Theorem. There are uncountably many infinite sequences of 0's and 1's. Proof . Suppose not.
    Let f f f , ... be a list of all sequences.
    Let f be the complement of the diagonal sequence f i i
    Thus f i f i i
    For each i f differs from f i at i Thus f f f f This contradicts the assumption that the list contained all sequences.

    Topos Theory in a Nutshell
    John Baez
    January 27, 2004
    Okay, you wanna know what a topos is? First I'll give you a hand-wavy vague explanation, then an actual definition, then a few consequences of this definition, and then some examples. I'll warn you: despite Chris Isham's work applying topos theory to the interpretation of quantum mechanics, and Anders Kock and Bill Lawvere's work applying it to differential geometry and mechanics, topos theory hasn't really caught on among physicists yet. Thus, the main reason to learn about it is not to quickly solve some specific physics problems, but to broaden our horizons and break out of the box that traditional mathematics, based on set theory, imposes on our thinking.
    1. Hand-Wavy Vague Explanation
    Around 1963, Lawvere decided to figure out new foundations for mathematics, based on category theory. His idea was to figure out what was so great about sets, strictly from the category-theoretic point of view. This is an interesting project, since category theory is all about objects and morphisms. For the category of sets, this means SETS and FUNCTIONS. Of course, the usual axioms for set theory are all about SETS and MEMBERSHIP. Thus analyzing set theory from the category-theoretic viewpoint forces a radical change of viewpoint, which downplays membership and emphasizes functions. Even earlier, this same change of viewpoint was also becoming important in algebraic geometry, thanks to the work of Grothendieck on the Weil conjectures. So topos theory can be thought of as a merger of ideas from geometry and logic - hence the title of this book, which is an excellent introduction to topos theory, though not the easiest one:

Jim Dolan and I have been thinking about this kind of thing lately. The standard proof involves lots of assumptions, but there should be a topological - actually category-theoretic - essence to it, and this heuristic argument is probably pretty close to the theorem we're looking for. Actually I already know another heuristic argument, but this one might be fundamentally a bit different. >The "proof" is topological, in that if you rotate a thing (particle) >with strings all over it, the strings are all twisted after 360 >degrees of rotation, but after 720 degrees the strings can be >untangled without moving the object.

    After the media hype about the computer solution of the Robbins problem is discounted, what remains? This question can be answered only by looking into what was done. In my opinion, it is a significant achievement. I am skeptical about the role that automated reasoning can play in mathematics in the next few centuries, but there are interesting and non-trivial results. They lead us into an odd mixture of computer science, logic, universal algebra, pragmatic experimentation, and (so help me) elliptic curves. The goals of this course are to describe the methodology of the field, to have fun playing with the programs Otter, Mace, and EQP that led to the solution of the Robbins problem, to look at some other programs that have been developed, to explore some of the corners of mathematics in which automatic reasoning has proved useful, to help anyone seriously wishing to apply these tools to problems of interest, and to try to estimate the promises and limitations of automatic reasoning.
    Although I have worked on a proof-checking program, which I hope to have in shape to publish this year, I am not a member of the AR (automated reasoning) community and have no expertise in the field. There may well be some boners here and if so I hope that more knowledgeable people will set me (

    1998: A Good Year for Math?
    Was 1998 a good year for mathematics or a poor one? It depends on the yardstick you use to measure performance. In terms of media attention, it has probably been the best year ever (see my November column, "Math Becomes Way Cool"). But if you are looking for major new results, it has been a relatively poor year. At about this time each year for the past four years, the American Mathematical Society has published an attractive (full color, high gloss) pamphlet titled What's Happening in the Mathematical Sciences. Written by mathematics writer Barry Cipra, WHIMS sets out to do what its title suggests: It provides accounts of the most significant developments in mathematics over the previous twelve months, written at an accessibility level roughly the same as Scientific American. Volume 4 of WHIMS appeared recently, and it's as good as the previous three issues. Barry Cipra is to be praised for his excellent mathematical writing, Paul Zorn has done a magnificent job as editor, and the AMS does the mathematical community a great service by publishing this annual summary. One thing that struck me as I read this latest issue, however, is that all the developments described occurred in previous years. Now, don't get me wrong. I am not drawing any conclusions from this observation. For one thing, the acquisition of human knowledge proceeds at its own, often erratic pace. For another, there is more to mathematics than major breakthroughs that hit the front pages of daily newspapers.
