What Is Mathematics?

Hello Reader,

To tie up, for now, this theme of proof, I thought I'd go ahead and show you the man who shook the 20th century mathematical world with the revelation that, no matter what we prove in mathematics, we can never be sure any of it is true :o (shocked face indeed!).

Before I go further, I'd like to give you something to think about. A seemingly simple question.

Fundamentally, What Is Mathematics?

If you have any ideas, please comment with your answer below.
Otherwise, watch this space as my next post will try to answer this question, and introduce you to the foundations of mathematics.

Thanks for reading :)
