Mathematics - Application and Applicability

The essay sets forth a categorization of mathematical applications into logical and empirical, on the one hand; canonical and noncanonical on the other.   Among the surprising results of this paper are that arithmetic addition has a canonical empirical application, but multiplication does not. This result has implications for mathematical education, among other things.
