Title: Constructive Mathematics

Authors: Mark Mandelkern
(Submitted on 3 Apr 2024)
Abstract: An age-old controversy in mathematics concerns the necessity and the possibility of constructive proofs. The controversy has been rekindled by recent advances which demonstrate the feasibility of a fully constructive mathematics. This nontechnical article discusses the motivating ideas behind the constructive approach to mathematics and the implications of constructive mathematics for the history of mathematics.
