- pron 11y agoI didn't mean that math can be fully reduced to logic, but that logic is the field of study concerned with the foundations of mathematics (although, perhaps not exclusively). Interesting link, though. BTW, Russel's paradox has been resolved in pretty much all logic systems that are now used as the foundation of math.
