14/2 is seven, a natural? Filtering out all of the non-natural numbers 7 is in there as 14/2?
Exactly.
Java ... streams comes to mind ...
Fair enough, or just as crazy as WM? Maybe worse?
C'mon, man, you are skilled guy.
You might learn a little bit math "lingo" and "idioms", if you like. :-)
I'd suggest:
- Princeton Companion to Mathematics
https://www.amazon.de/Princeton-Companion-Mathematics-Timothy-Gowers/dp/0691118809Only ~1000 pages. :-)
Especially: "I.2 The Language and Grammar of Mathematics"
See:
https://www.academia.edu/97775203/The_Princeton_Companion_to_Mathematics_T_Gowersand (of course)
- A. Tarski, Introduction to Logic and to the Methodology of Deductive Sciences
A rather little book.
