Ruminations

It occurs to me that it's been quite a while since I last posted anything with mathematical content. I'm contemplating a series of posts, of indeterminate length, making a semi-philosophical ramble through the history of mathematics; if I go the distance, it'll begin somewhere in the vicinity of Pythagoras, involving such issues as the relationship between counting and measurement, and end in the twentieth century, with some thoughts about the three-way controversy involving the formalists, the logicists, and the intuitionists. I plan to stick to two or three central themes, mostly revolving around the question of what mathematics actually is.

Would anyone be interested?
