Abstract

On a Unified Concept of Mathematics. Mathematics is not simply a branch of science, but the unique and conclusive means of expressing and solving any problem in any field whatever. In this paper I wish to submit some thoughts justifing my belief in the unification of Mathematics. Besides that, I make a proposal for replacement of the structureblock for questions (with two or more answers) in structuregrams, which not only makes the structuregrams more representative and comprehensive but also corrects certain shortcomings and makes them more adapted to the structure of programming languages.
