Problems+with+the+Mathematics

On this page please make a list of problems that come up with the area of knowledge. Along with the problem please explain how this affects the area of knowledge as a whole. Personally add at least 3 problems or fallacies.

Problems in Mathematics:

It can be biased. Since mathematics is based on theorems, laws, corollaries, and overall observation, it can be biased since new observations can give rise to new theorems creating variations in math biasing it. This affects the area of knowledge as a whole because all of the areas in mathematics are purely based on these observations so the whole area of knowledge is open to doubt making it uncertain.

It is impossible to fully comprehend. This may be a harsh concept difficult to understand, however, math is based on abstract ideals that humans have created. This not only means that there may be errors in the system but also that we are not able to see it so we may not claim to fully comprehend it for we may not grasp its full meaning. An example would be the mathematical term "pie" whose true value is infinite which is a concept we cannot comprehend. This affects the area of knowledge because as mentioned above, no one is capable of truly understanding the area of knowledge itself.

It it incomplete. As can be seen above, mathematics itself is an abstract area of knowledge; there are several fields that are yet incomplete and doubtful as well as those that have not yet been discovered. This affects the area of knoledge because it open the door to error, further change in previously known methods, and contradiction. By Carolina Gutierrez
