that's like saying poetry is art; art is poetry - an altogether facile/reductionist statement. we're supposed to be precise with language here - calling math and logic the same thing is too flip for my taste.

ps both words are greek in origin (logos - 'word' or 'study'; math - from word meaning 'understanding'); why bother with two words if they mean the same thing?
