- Is this commonly used at all? Is there any more commonly used term with similar meaning? When searching for "finished mathematics" on google, most of hits were either Wikipedia mirrors or pages with phrases like "I finished mathematics degree". Only about 13 pages using "finished mathematics" in this meaning which did not come from Wikipedia. Andris 13:29, Aug 10, 2004 (UTC)
- I've never heard of this term. Neither has User:Michael Hardy. It was created by the same guy who created Folk mathematics, and who both may be User:JRR Trollkien. Is this a philosophy of mathematics term? Perhaps it was made up. Paul August 07:07, Aug 12, 2004 (UTC)
- Not a term I'm familiar with. The creator was almost certainly our dear User:142.177.etc. I suspect it's ideosyncratic. Frankly, folk mathematics doesn't sound much like reality as I know it, either. Isomorphic 05:58, 15 Aug 2004 (UTC)
