We describe in detail the result of our previous publications that classical mathematics (involving such notions as infinitely small/large, continuity etc.) is a degenerate special case of finite one in the formal limit when the characteristic $p$ of the field or ring in finite mathematics goes to infinity. We consider a finite quantum theory (FQT) based on finite mathematics and show that standard continuous quantum theory is a special case of FQT in the formal limit $p\to\infty$. The…

FQT and finite mathematics are more general than standard quantum theory and classical mathematics, respectively: the latter theories are special degenerated cases of the former ones in the formal limit p → ∞ .
Once More on Potential vs. Actual Infinity
The {\it technique} of classical mathematics involves only potential infinity, i.e. infinity is understood only as a limit. However, {\it the basis} of classical mathematics does involve actual

Physicists usually understand that physics cannot (and should not) derive that $c\approx 3\cdot 10^8m/s$ and $\hbar \approx 1.054\cdot 10^{-34}kg\cdot m^2/s$. At the same time they usually believe

Finite Quantum Theory and Applications to Gravity and Particle Theory
We argue that the main reason of crisis in quantum theory is that nature, which is fundamentally discrete and even finite, is described by continuous mathematics. Moreover, no ultimate physical
Why Finite Mathematics Is The Most Fundamental and Ultimate Quantum Theory Will Be Based on Finite Mathematics
Classical mathematics (involving such notions as infinitely small/large and continuity) is usually treated as fundamental while finite mathematics is treated as inferior which is used only in special

We discuss the motivation and main results of a quantum theory over a Galois field (GFQT). The goal of the paper is to describe main ideas of GFQT in a simplest possible way and to give clear and
