... which mathematicians apply deductively to the mathematical information available to them. With these rules, the conclusion and theorems created are used to make more theorems and conclusion, and those make more conclusions and theorems and so on. This cycle is said to be the foundation of mathematics, because without this, people ... will stop making new theorems, and then math will stop existing. Deduction is the most accurate among the logical processes since it does not leave ... have to neglect naturally things such as air resistance. Another drawback of using deduction is that fact...

Sciences as such geometry and mathematics are certain and indubitable for Descartes. In science classes, instructors stress the importance of determining causation. The modern scientific method allows for many ways to describe every imaginable ... the connection, Hume suggests that our findings will probably hold true to our liking because we almost always consider these findings in a similar condition.
