Mathematics as Mental Science (Score 1)

In the same way that the other sciences are reproducible physical experiments mathematics consists of reproducible mental experiments.

Proofs give you the steps to reproduce the experiment.

To that end math tells us as much about the human mind (what is considered beautifull or elegant in mathematics?) as it does about the universe.
