Mathematics Without Numbers : Towards a Modal-Structural Interpretation
Overview

After treating the natural numbers and analysis, he extends the approach to set theory, where he demonstrates how to dispense with a fixed universe of sets. Finally, he addresses problems of application to the physical world.
