In the early twentieth century, L.E.J. Brouwer pioneered a new philosophy of mathematics, called intuitionism. Intuitionism was revolutionary in many respects but stands out -mathematically speaking- for its challenge of Hilbert's formalist…

The first seeds of mathematical intuitionism germinated in Europe over a century ago in the constructive tendencies of Borel, Baire, Lebesque, Poincar\'e, Kronecker and others. The flowering was the work of one man, Luitzen Egbertus Jan…

Brouwer's fan theorem states that every bar is a uniform bar. We give an overview of the status of this axiom in Bishop's constructive mathematics. In particular, we describe the relationship between the fan theorem, the weak K\"onig lemma,…

We examine the classical/intuitionist divide, and how it reflects on modern theories of infinitesimals. When leading intuitionist Heyting announced that "the creation of non-standard analysis is a standard model of important mathematical…

Brouwer-operations, also known as inductively defined neighbourhood functions, provide a good notion of continuity on Baire space which naturally extends that of uniform continuity on Cantor space. In this paper, we introduce a continuity…

A theorem, usually attributed to Barr, yields that (A) geometric implications deduced in classical L_{\infty\omega} logic from geometric theories also have intuitionistic proofs. Barr's theorem is of a topos-theoretic nature and its proof…

This is a survey of constructive and computable measure theory with an emphasis on the close connections with algorithmic randomness. We give a brief history of constructive measure theory from Brouwer to the present, emphasizing how…

We introduce Z-stability, a notion capturing the intuition that if a function f maps a metric space into a normed space and if the norm of f(x) is small, then x is close to a zero of f. Working in Bishop's constructive setting, we first…

In Mathematical Thought and Its Objects, Charles Parsons argues that our knowledge of the iterability of functions on the natural numbers and of the validity of complete induction is not intuitive knowledge; Brouwer disagrees on both…

Bishop's constructive mathematics school rejects the Law of Excluded Middle, but instead vastly makes use of weaker versions of the Choice. In this paper we pioneer an example, which shows that this road is not consistent, as our example…

This paper asks what Brouwer might have replied to Dummett's interpretation of intuitionism. Complementing earlier literature, it treats Dummett's rejection of the ontological approach; the charge of psychologism and solipsism; indefinite…

In his constructive development of complex analysis, Errett Bishop used restrictive notions of homotopy and simple connectedness. Working in Bishop-style constructive mathematics, we prove Cauchy's integral theorem using the standard…

What is the proper explanation of intuitionistic hypothetical judgment, and thence propositional implication? The answer is unclear from the writings of Brouwer and Heyting, who in their lifetimes propounded multiple (sometimes conflicting)…

IIn the context of a weak formal theory called Basic Intuitionistic Mathematics $\mathsf{BIM}$, we study Brouwer's Fan Theorem and a strong negation of the Fan Theorem, Kleene's Alternative (to the Fan Theorem). We prove that the Fan…

In the setting of constructive pointfree topology, we introduce a notion of continuous operation between pointfree topologies and the corresponding principle of pointfree continuity. An operation between points of pointfree topologies is…

Of the great theories of classical mathematics, projective geometry, with its powerful concepts of symmetry and duality, has been exceptional in continuing to intrigue investigators. The challenge put forth by Errett Bishop (1928-1983),…

A common objection to the definition of intuitionistic implication in the Proof Interpretation is that it is impredicative. I discuss the history of that objection, argue that in Brouwer's writings predicativity of implication is ensured…

In intuitionistic mathematics, the Brouwer Continuity Theorem states that all total real functions are (uniformly) continuous on the unit interval. We study this theorem and related principles from the point of view of Reverse Mathematics…

We explore the relationship between Brouwer's intuitionistic mathematics and Euclidean geometry. Brouwer wrote a paper in 1949 called "The contradictority of elementary geometry". In that paper, he showed that a certain classical…

We study Borel systems and continuous systems of measures, with a focus on mapping properties: compositions, liftings, fibred products and disintegration. Parts of the theory we develop can be derived from known work in the literature, and…
