Krantz further wanted to portray that proof in the field of mathematics

The content of the article predominantly indicated that its main purpose was to prove to the audience that mathematical almost all mathematical statements have proof, and this phenomenon began in ancient times before the Pythagoras theorem was invented. Krantz further wanted to portray that proof in the field of mathematics is timeless based on the fact it’s applied in numerous other disciplines such as physics, chemistry, computer science, and biological sciences just to mention a few of them. The author further offers the idea that mathematicians’ idea and attitude is not to dwell on the theoretical part, hence, any mathematical work should have a proof for it to be worthy substantiated. Generally, many of the mathematical proofs that the author describes in the article are supported by works of other experts which he acknowledges in his work. According to the author’s opinion, he points out that the Babylonians had the idea of the Pythagoras theorem before its invention by Pythagoras, as they had already developed several diagrams which epitomized such ideas (Biggs, 225).
