Popis: We discuss the idea of concrete mathematics inspired by Hilbert’s idea of finitistic mathematics as the part of mathematics not engaged into actual infinity. We explicate it as the part of mathematics based on \(\varDelta ^0_2\) arithmetical concepts. The explication is justified by equivalence of \(\varDelta ^0_2\) definability with algorithmic learnability (an epistemic argument) and with FM–representability (representability in finite models, an ontological argument).
