Their math lacks integers!" "As far as we can tell," Jennifer added. "They don't use whole numbers at all. Only 'smears,' they call them.

The primary concern of mathematics is number, and this means the positive integers…. Mathematics belongs to man, not God. We are not interested in properties of the positive integers that have no descriptive meaning for finite man. When a man proves a positive integer exists, he should show how to find it. If God has mathematics of his own that needs to be done, let him do it himself.

The nineteenth-century mathematician Leopold Kronecker said, "God made the integers; all the rest is the work of man.

La aritmética es para alguien que se propone salir al mundo, comprar y vender. No. Vamos a estudiar los números enteros, el uno, el dos, el tres, etcétera. Eso acordamos con David. La teoría de los números; lo que uno puede hacer con los números y qué sucede cuando los números se acaban.

God made integers, all else is the work of man.

for example, to see whether in the developing subject, i.e. the child, integers are directly constructed starting from class logic by biunivocal correspondence and the construction of a "class of equivalent classes" as Frege and B. Russell thought, or whether the construction is more complex and presupposes the concept of order.

God made the integers, all the rest is the work of man.

Seven is my favorite number," he said. "Why?" He nuzzled gently at her stomach. "There are seven colors in a rainbow, seven days of the week, and..." His voice lowered seductively, "...seven is the lowest natural number that can't be represented as the sum of the squares of three integers." "Mathematics," she exclaimed, laughing breathlessly. "How stirring.

God made the integers all else is the work of man.

The series of integers is obviously an invention of the human mind, a self-created tool which simplifies the ordering of certain sensory experiences.
