True. Euclid started off with just a few core axioms (things we say are true "just because" we say so, such as "given two points, you can only draw one line between them"), and showed how you can derive tons of geometric proofs that ultimately stem just from those axioms, using deductive logic. You can check out Euclid's "Elements" on line, which is still the bedrock of geometry as we know it:

true, it talks about this sort of math in discrete structures course

theory is a theory interior the form of electro-chemical reactions which grant the logician the sensation of existence and reality. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! basically a theory............ :)
