– what does it mean for a theory to be “proven” mathematically?
In: Mathematics
My sister is a mathematician and likes to joke that philosophy has conclusions and no rules while math has rules and no conclusions.
Now, that’s not really true, but it’s a good joke. What it means to “prove” something mathematically is to demonstrate that the logical link exists between two things. Without asking us what you’re trying to prove, we can’t do anything more than… link you to the wikipedia article on mathematical proofs or to some examples of proofs.
Could you be more specific?
