Prove mathematics!

Philosophers and mathematicians tried. And they did the best that they could with Kurt G�del, when he proved around 1920 that it is an impossibility to have a system of mathematics that covers all mathematical truths while remaining consistent (non-contradictory).

And it is quite easy to prove things, as long as all parties involved accept the axioms of logic and all the premises used in the proof. The hard part is most people have no understanding of the axioms of logic (hence logical fallacies abound) and there is little agreement to be found regarding several premises.
