👉 Consistent mathematics, often referred to as axiomatic or formal mathematics, is a branch of mathematics that focuses on the logical structure of mathematical theories. It involves defining a set of axioms (self-evident truths or assumptions) and rules of inference to derive theorems, ensuring that all conclusions are rigorously derived from these foundational principles. This approach emphasizes clarity, precision, and logical consistency, minimizing ambiguity by avoiding intuitive or empirical assumptions. By starting with basic definitions and axioms, consistent mathematics builds a systematic framework where every statement is justified through logical steps, making it a cornerstone of modern mathematical rigor and foundational research.
