|
|
Mathematics is an abstract theory created by physical creatures in the
physical world.
The basics of mathematics are in the sets of numbers like R and C and
in relations between them. The sets of numbers form mathematical
spaces like R(3) or C(2). We know, for example, that the set of
complex numbers C is the widest possible set of numbers, which
satisfies the next condition: "Set of numbers includes certain
algebraic basic features (commutativity, associativity, distributive
law, neutral element, negative and inverse element)."
Why is that?
The physical space sets the limits for the basics of mathematics. So
the mathematics is basically a part of theoretical physics, which
examines the physical world.
Is this a provocative argument? The argument is explained in detail in
D-theory;
