Mathematics: The Loss Of Certainty, Calvin Jongsma
Mathematics: The Loss Of Certainty, Calvin Jongsma
ACMS Conference Proceedings 1983
Morris Kline was a contentious mathematician and author, documenting (as he saw it) both the deficiencies of mid-twentieth-century reformist trends in mathematics education and formalist views of the foundations (and practice) of mathematics. This brief introduction to a discussion of Kline's 1980 book and its mixed reception by the mathematics community provides a context for assessing his ideas as part of his overall views on the nature of mathematics.
Arrogance And Humility In The Philosophy Of Mathematics, James Murdock
Arrogance And Humility In The Philosophy Of Mathematics, James Murdock
ACMS Conference Proceedings 1983
This paper explores the philosophical, sociological, and theological questions related to the field of mathematics and whether or not it is ethical to pursue when its discoveries are used for evil.
The Activitiy And Application Of Mathematics, R. S. D. Thomas
The Activitiy And Application Of Mathematics, R. S. D. Thomas
ACMS Conference Proceedings 1983
There are four so-called philosophies of mathematics that I regard as totally discredited, formalism, intuitionism, logicism, and Platonism. It is a common feature of the ism philosophies of mathematics that they do not take the application of mathematics very seriously. This paper examines a view of mathematics that takes applications seriously.
Using Mathematical Concepts To Illustrate Scriptural And Spiritual Ideas, Robert Brabenec
Using Mathematical Concepts To Illustrate Scriptural And Spiritual Ideas, Robert Brabenec
ACMS Conference Proceedings 1983
Christian mathematics faculty and students respond in differing ways to this idea of applying mathematics to Scripture, and vice-versa. Mathematics is man-made, while Scripture is inspired by God, so they should be disjoint entities. However, it is well known that the Scripture used analogies of familiar human objects and ideas in order to explain spiritual ideas. This paper discusses various mathematical concepts and how they illustrate Scriptural and spiritual ideas.
