  1. Approximation Theorems Throughout Reverse Mathematics.Sam Sanders - forthcoming - Journal of Symbolic Logic:1-32.
    Reverse Mathematics (RM) is a program in the foundations of mathematics where the aim is to find the minimal axioms needed to prove a given theorem of ordinary mathematics. Generally, the minimal axioms are equivalent to the theorem at hand, assuming a weak logical system called the base theory. Moreover, many theorems are either provable in the base theory or equivalent to one of four logical systems, together called the Big Five. For instance, the Weierstrass approximation theorem, i.e., that a (...)

  • On Robust Theorems Due to Bolzano, Weierstrass, Jordan, and Cantor.Dag Normann & Sam Sanders - 2024 - Journal of Symbolic Logic 89 (3):1077-1127.
    Reverse Mathematics (RM hereafter) is a program in the foundations of mathematics where the aim is to identify the minimal axioms needed to prove a given theorem from ordinary, i.e., non-set theoretic, mathematics. This program has unveiled surprising regularities: the minimal axioms are very often equivalent to the theorem over the base theory, a weak system of ‘computable mathematics’, while most theorems are either provable in this base theory, or equivalent to one of only four logical systems. The latter plus (...)
