Hi, first of all thanks for giving your important knowledge to this forum. Let me read the Teorem and I will discuss it with u. (Im not of those smart guys, just a young person wanna keep learning Smile

).

Regards!!

As I am just finishing my BS in Applied Math, I don't put myself in the same
group as the smart guys who read and respond to the questions on this group,
but it would seem to me that Godel's Incompleteness Theorem at least in part
answers this question.

I am referring to the following part:

For any consistent formal theory that proves basic arithmetical truths, it
is possible to construct an arithmetical statement that is true 1 but not
provable in the theory. That is, any consistent theory of a certain
expressive strength is incomplete.

from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Godel%27s_incompleteness_theorem

So it would seem impossible to me to develop this kind of knowledge that you
are talking about.

Since noone else has yet brought it up, maybe I am misunderstanding the
question or the theorem. If I am, can one of the smart guys explain to me
my mistakes?

First of all, thanks for your answer.

When i ask for a relation between maths and global knowledge .
For example, for an architect,we can build a system that can have a conversation with a person and then the program can tell us the dimensions of a building, and technical parameters based on some maths expressions.....but...can we have expressions of the konwledge as itself??

Actualy I am finishing Computer Science, Ive studied Information Theory, Knowledge Ingeniering, Neurocomputation, Artificial Intelligence, and other disciplines that gave to me a very interesting focus of the knowledge of human being... I I trust that maths can explain everything, and when I mean everything I am talking about expressions that can explain the "learning" , the "intention", and everything that a human mind can do.
I wonder if its possible to study a new discipline or, to create it if it doesnt exist, to create the human knowledge, but based on maths, just on maths.
So I will try to work on it when i do mi PhD, but, I kno that u are people that know a lot of maths, and i was wondering what do you think, or what have u heard abot this.

Thanks a lot!!!

Hi everyone, I wonder if there is a discipline in maths to express knowledge, i mean, to express knowledge by mathematics expressions...is it possible?

Regards and thanks
