What makes mathematics factual?
In: Mathematics
You start with the most basic of concepts. The number 1, which represents a unit, a discrete item. This item can be added or subtracted from others items. Multiplying and dividing are pretty much adding and subtracting but on a large scale. From there you can expand to more complex concepts. In a sense, these concepts are constructs, we invented them, but they are all based on counting numbers, which don’t change.
