Kant: On math

In the beginning Kant poses four questions and on is How is pure mathematics possible? Kant then begins saying that math consists of a priori cognitions and therfore one must be able to draw connections between different concepts by means of some form of pure intuition. since math consists of synthetic a priori cognitions then some form of pure intuition is innate within us that allows these connections to happen without an prior experiences.
