    I wish you luck in your research of Russell's mathematical philosophy.

    Thanks. I like researching rusell especially because he did thousands of works, essays, books. He had many many different thingsa about which he wrote. All kind of ethical and moral considerations in his time, were considered by him. All the new works on langauge and logic had important influeces form him.

    GUILLE,

    I understand Russell was using metamathematics, studying mathematics from an outsider (logician) point of view not as an insider (mathematician) point of view.

    true. And that is important. Studying a study by it's own basis, is the best way of studying a study.

    GUILLE,

    The way I see the purpose of mathematics is to solve real-life problems not creating problems to be solved.

    So do I. Also to apply mathematics to real-life concepts (not only problems). For example, probability, efficiency, space, quantity....All are basic works in math, and started as real life concepts.
