Hume Science
Hume mentions and shows how much he enjoys math and the sciences because there is no chance at there being any fault. Math is there and the answers derived from there are what they are, there in no chance of lack of understanding because the answer is solidified and anyone can see the answer to a simple math equation without having to put any human error into it. I agree with Hume here, i don't like math, but there is no way to have error in simple math, math is taken for what it is based on equations that are performed.

i agree but there is also no way to have error in any mathmatical equation that is solved correctly. but i kind of think it's funny that hume calls math a priori but claims to be an empiricist and empiricists don't really believe in a priori judgment.
