Beauty In Mathematics: Some Theological Implications, David L. Neuhouser
Beauty In Mathematics: Some Theological Implications, David L. Neuhouser
ACMS Conference Proceedings 1989
It may come as a surprise to some that science or mathematics could be considered beautiful, but many prominent sciences and mathematicians from around the world have made such claims. Furthermore, the beauty of mathematics and order of the universe inspired some of the greatest developments in science and mathematics. This paper examines the beauty of mathematics and what scientists and other individuals have said about the subject.
A Course On Mathematics And The Christian Faith, W. David Laverell, Carl J. Sinke
A Course On Mathematics And The Christian Faith, W. David Laverell, Carl J. Sinke
ACMS Conference Proceedings 1989
The January interim term at Calvin College provides an opportunity for developing and teaching courses outside a normal major program. As a result faculty members are frequently given the interim off to provide time for research and development of new courses. In 1987 we were given such a leave in order to pursue the questions of the relationship between mathematics and the Christian Faith. One result was our presentation at the 1987 Association of Christians in the Mathematical Sciences conference. Immediately thereafter we began to develop a specific interim course based on our studies. We offered the course during the …

The Bisexual Galton-Watson Branching Process, David M. Hull
The Bisexual Galton-Watson Branching Process, David M. Hull
ACMS Conference Proceedings 1989
I would like to present the bisexual Galton-Watson branching process. The word "bisexual" indicates that we will be considering a population of two sexes--which will be designated as the usual male and female. Here is a brief overview of what I would like to cover.
- The bisexual process motivated: why is it needed?
- The standard Galton-Watson branching process.
- The state of affairs regarding two-sex models.
- The nuts and bolts of the bisexual Galton-Watson branching process (parameters defined and how it works).
- A review of published bisexual results to date.
- What is to come?
Newton And Saccheri: Case Studies In The Interplay Of Mathematics And Religion, Tommy Leavelle
Newton And Saccheri: Case Studies In The Interplay Of Mathematics And Religion, Tommy Leavelle
ACMS Conference Proceedings 1989
In the course of this paper I will try to present to you the basic facts and some of the subsequent assessments of the life and work of two mathematicians for whom the interplay of mathematics and religion was influential: Issac Newton and Girolamo Saccheri.
Agustine's Mathematical Realism, Paul J. Zwier
Agustine's Mathematical Realism, Paul J. Zwier
ACMS Conference Proceedings 1989
After a review of Philip Kitcher's argument against Mathematical Realism, this paper presents the case for Mathematical Realism by looking at the life and writings of Saint Augustine.
Simulated Annealing On Np-Complete Problems, Russell W. Howell
Simulated Annealing On Np-Complete Problems, Russell W. Howell
ACMS Conference Proceedings 1989
The Random House Dictionary defines anneal as " ... to free (glass, metals, etc.) from internal stress by heating and gradually cooling." In the physical world, impurities are annealed out of a substance by heating it to a high temperature. As it is cooled, its molecular structure gradually settles into a stable "low-energy" configuration. It is important to cool the substance slowly, especially at lower temperatures, so that impurities do not get "frozen" into place. With careful cooling, a low-energy state can eventually be reached. This state may not be the one with the lowest potential energy, where the spins …

Farming Systems Research/Extension And The Concepts Of Sustainability, Charles A. Francis, Peter E. Hildebrand
Farming Systems Research/Extension And The Concepts Of Sustainability, Charles A. Francis, Peter E. Hildebrand
Department of Agronomy and Horticulture: Faculty Publications
Farming Systems Research and Extension (FSR/E) has strongly influenced the direction of agricultural development over the past two decades. Involving farmers, change agents and researchers, this participatory approach to technological improvement has evolved as an efficient means to develop individual components and more integrated systems that are uniquely suited to specific biophysical and socioeconomic conditions. Farmers with similar conditions and for whom specific recommendations are appropriate are grouped, in FSR/E, into identifiable Recommendation Domains. The technologies recommended conform with the biophysical and socioeconomic constraints that create environments within the domains, based on the philosophy that new technologies must conform with …
