Re: Logic and Mathematics

[quote=Guille;6787]

Probably you know that the basis of mathematics is logic. But, how exactly does mathematics relate to logic? Is it logic's language, or just a type of use of it?

QUOTE]

Logic has many limitations in that all is either True or False. This is akin to saying all is black or white. The language of mathematics has more scope in identifying "grey areas".

Logic says either 1 or -1

Mathematics can say "not (1) but not (not 1) but nearly (1) = .999 "

Mathematics identifies the grey areas that logic cannot deal with.
