Further description declares it to be the study of the science of numbers, quantities, geometry and forms. This is the first anomaly, for if mathematics is clarity, then the definitions which attach to it are nothing but abstruse. Substitute “numbers, quantities, geometry and forms” with “words and phrases” and transfer to the disciplines of Literature, Theology, and History is seamless. Mathematics is philosophy, for it theoretically contains the tools to comprehend the entire gamut of human experience. And if philosophy is the quest for truth of life and existence as we experience and otherwise seek to know, then there is little to distinguish between mathematics and philosophy.
