“Every algebraic
equivalent has a
root”.
Is this to be called a proposition?
46
The question corresponding to this
proposition
as answer is vague.
But once the
proposition this piece of
mathematics has been done we are inclined to call it the proof that our
question had to be answered is the positive.
But, as one might say, there was much less in the question than there is now
in the answer. –
Compare this with: “
Is
25 × 25 =
600?”
