Falso, by Estatis Inc.
The last decades have seen a major revolution in the performance of mathematical activity through the invention and development of several new axiomatic systems. Surprisingly, though, many mathematicians are wholly unaware of this issue and do not know precisely which set of axioms they are using. T

Hasnain says:
