Abstract
The article discusses the issue of certainty of mathematics through the lens of two epistemological problems: the skeptical argument and Gettier cases. Regarding practical or applied mathematics mathematical knowledge is vulnerable to both: the skeptical hypothesis and the Gettier problem, therefore, the pure absolutist view seems to be irrelevant. Nevertheless, the former problem does not afflict pure mathematics under the light of anti-lick epistemology. Thus, a common intuition that pure mathematical knowledge exhibits a degree of certainty that exceeds analogous parameters of other scientific activity is plausible.
