Can you prove any other way of knowing?

Yes, reason, which is the precondition for science itself.

How do you gain knowledge with reason alone?

Reason is the precondition for knowledge. The real question is, how do you get knowledge without reason? It's not possible.

By reasoning about ideas. Mathematics is a great example—you can gain knowledge with nothing more than first principles and numbers.

So you can gain mathematical knowledge using only reason. Ok.

Anything else?
