Crisis in the Foundation of Mathematics | Infinite Series

What if the foundation that all of mathematics is built upon isn't as firm as we thought it was?
Note: The natural numbers sometimes include zero and sometimes don't -- it depends on how you define it. Within logic, zero is always included as a natural number.
Correction - The image shown at 8:15 is of Netwon's Principia and not Russell and Whitehead's Principia Mathematica as was intended.

How to generate Pseudorandom Numbers? | Infinite Series
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C82JyCmtKWg
Mathematics is cumulative -- it builds on itself. That’s part of why you take math courses in a fairly prescribed order. To learn about matrices - big blocks of numbers - and the procedure for multiplying matrices, you need to know about numbers. Matrices are defined in terms of - in other words, constructed from - more fundamental objects: numbers.
