Bridging To Infinity, Mike Pinter
Humanistic Mathematics Network Journal
The author's own experiences as a mathematics student and teacher have influenced how he thinks about the infinite. Author Madeleine L'Engle has also shaped his thinking with her writing. The author offers some thoughts that connect some of L'Engle's writing with his experience.

History Of Mathematics, An Intuitive Approach, Alejandro R. Garciadiego
History Of Mathematics, An Intuitive Approach, Alejandro R. Garciadiego
Humanistic Mathematics Network Journal
The main goal of this essay is to discuss, informally, an intuitive approach to the history of mathematics as an academic discipline. The initial point of departure includes the analysis of some traditional definitions of the concept of 'history' taken from standard dictionaries. This concise dissection attempts to suggest the complexity of the discipline.

Notes On Formal Constructivism, D. Joyner, P. Lejarraga
Notes On Formal Constructivism, D. Joyner, P. Lejarraga
Humanistic Mathematics Network Journal
Our aim is to sketch some ideas related to how we (as in, we two) think we (as in, we humans) think. "That theory is useless. It isn't even wrong." - Wolfgang Pauli. Our hope in this paper is to provide a theory, admittedly somewhat vague, of how we think about mathematics. We also hope our ideas do not cause the reader to be reminded of Pauli's quote above. These notes were motivated by the interesting book by Changeaux and Connes.

The Natural Role Of Mathematics In The Sciences: How Maharishi's Vedic Science Answers The Question Of The Unreasonable Effectiveness Of Mathematics In The Sciences, Catherine A. Gorini
The Natural Role Of Mathematics In The Sciences: How Maharishi's Vedic Science Answers The Question Of The Unreasonable Effectiveness Of Mathematics In The Sciences, Catherine A. Gorini
Humanistic Mathematics Network Journal
Mathematicians and scientists have for a long time tried to understand why mathematics, a subjective creation of the human intellect, is so effective in the sciences, which study the objective, physical world. Satisfactory reasons have not been found because there has not been a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between the subjective and the objective aspects of life. In this paper we will see that Maharishi’s Vedic Science, by explaining the link between the subjective realm where mathematics is located and the objective world that science examines, can resolve this problem in a natural way.
