Bill, thanks for creating this page. I enjoyed reading the links and was
wondering how a site on labor laws need to know the foundations of mathematics.

No. This syntax can be easily described as a regular expression
that in principle requires nothing more complex than a simple
finite state machine to

Computable Numbers
In mathematics, theoretical computer science and mathematical logic,
the computable numbers, also known as the recursive numbers, are the
subset of the real numbers consisting of the numb
There is a mathematics subject classification scheme list at

and it appears to be used at

An interesting project would be to classify Axiom's math algorithms
relative to this scheme.

Real Numbers
In mathematics, the real numbers are intuitively defined as numbers
that are in one-to-one correspondence with the points on an infinite
line—the number line. The term "real number" is a retronym c
