The propositions of mathematics are devoid of all factual content; they convey no information whatever on any empirical subject matter.Collection: Math
The propositions of mathematics have, therefore, the same unquestionable certainty which is typical of such propositions as "All bachelors are unmarried," but they also share the complete lack of empirical content which is associated with that certainty: The propositions of mathematics are devoid of all factual content; they convey no information whatever on any empirical subject matter.Collection: Math

My proposed first sentence was: "The author discusses valueless measures in pointless spaces."Collection: Math
The discovery in 1846 of the planet Neptune was a dramatic and spectacular achievement of mathematical astronomy.
