philosophy of mathematics includes matters of metaphysics,
semantics , and epistemology. This course will provide an
overview of the philosophy of mathematics, including (1) the
views of some historical philosophers of mathematics, from
Plato and Aristotle to Immanuel Kant and John Stuart Mill, (2)
the three major positions of the twentieth century, namely,
logicism, intuitionism, and formalism, and (3) some
contemporary accounts of mathematics, such as ontological
realism, anti-realism, and structuralism. Prerequisite: 30 credit
hours of university-level studies, including MATH-2000 with a
minimum grade of “C.”
