"Next, what I'm going to talk about is the most important concept I've learned from Ximen Master and the work of the Genting Sect! Formalism."
As soon as Wang Qi said this, the Master of Calculation's brow furrowed deeply.
Behind him, more Arithmeticians from the Shaoli Sect became almost outrageously angry.
In his lifetime, Xi Baiche achieved countless accomplishments. However, his views on the essence of mathematics were widely criticized and hard for most Arithmeticians to accept.
In his view, the essence of mathematics is "form". Isolated symbols have no meaning. It is the "form" of these symbol arrangements that constitutes mathematics.
For example, in the fundamental equation "1+1=2", the symbols "1", "+", "=", and "2" are meaningless by themselves; only the complete equation holds mathematical significance.
Meanwhile, Arithmeticians from the Genting Sect wore complex expressions on their faces, mixed with bewilderment and anger.
