A Direct Formulation And Computer-Implementation Of A Symbolic Network Analysis Algorithm, Timothy James Knerr

Electrical & Computer Engineering Theses & Dissertations

An algorithm for the symbolic analysis of linear, time-invariant, active or passive networks is presented. The algorithm incorporates the best features of earlier numerical and topological methods of symbolic analysis. A hybrid set of equations is formulated for a closed linear graph and arranged in matrix form. A numerical evalu­ation procedure for the determinant of this hybrid matrix results in an efficient method of symbolic analysis. A proof of the algorithm based on determinant evaluation by a permutation product expansion provides insight into relationships with other methods of symbolic analysis. A computer program implementation of the algorithm is described and …

Some Observations On The Development Of Use Of Computer Informational Systems In Hospital Settings And Recommendations For Proposed Implementation At St. Joseph's Hospital, Andrew Z. Richardson

Theses

An intent is stated to discuss the developmental history and social impact of computer information retrieval systems on the hospital setting with primary area of focus being the Pharmacy Department. The interrelationship among various areas in the hospital setting are considered for need and cost/benefit associated with the use of a computerized information retrieval system.

A Case Study of St. Joseph Hospital is presented in example of evaluative consideration for implementation of a computerized information retrieval system.

Different forms of the "state-of-the-art" in informational systems are considered for their effective impact on cost/ benefit ratios to patient care and hospital …

A Computer-Assisted Instructional System And Its Application To A Course On Computer Structures And Hardware, Tahir Mufti

Masters Theses

Computer-Assisted Instruction is a powerful tool which is fast becoming an integral part of the instructional system in schools.

The objective of this study is to review the techniques used to provide Computer-Assisted Instruction and to present such an instructional system called LEARN which is general enough to be applied towards the teaching of any subject. Also included are notes on the application of the LEARN system to a subject entitled "Computer Structures and Hardware".

Reality And Imagination In Mathematics And Religion, Dave Neuhouser

ACMS Conference Proceedings 1981

What does either reality or imagination have to do with mathematics? What does either reality or imagination have to do with religion? The thesis of this paper is that mathematics and religion, both, should be closely related to reality and that imagination is essential in both areas. In fact, imagination is essential in our attempts to understand reality.

Theology And Philosophy Of Mathematics, Russell V. Benson

ACMS Conference Proceedings 1981

This paper examines history and philosophy to explore the answer to the theological question of whether or not Christians should pursue the mathematical sciences.

A Response To Professor Poythress’S “Science As Allegory”, Paul Devries

ACMS Conference Proceedings 1981

This paper critiques some of the arguments given by Vern Sheridan Poythress in his paper, Science as Allegory, particularly about the claims that the universe is poetry and that science is poetry.

Teaching Mathematics Distinctively, Paul J. Zwier

ACMS Conference Proceedings 1981

By examining previously used education models, Paul Zwier how he developed his current methods of teaching mathematically distinctively.

Probabilistic Ways Of Thinking, Garnet Hauger

ACMS Conference Proceedings 1981

Events of the tiniest probabilities occur every day, and yet we tend to think of these events as unusual and even miraculous. So what should be a Christian's response to such events? Beginning with some simple concepts of probability, this paper examines the role that chance plays in our lives.

An Integration Of Integrations Of Christianity And Mathematics—A Response To Harold Heie, Gene B. Chase

ACMS Conference Proceedings 1981

There are three general approaches taken to integrate Christianity and Mathematics: the applicational, the incarnation, and the philosophical. This paper discusses these views and responds to the approaches of Harold Heie.

Some Contributions Of Stanley Jaki To An Understanding Of Mathematics, Paul Devries

ACMS Conference Proceedings 1981

This paper comments on passages from the books by Stanley L. Jaki, Science and Creation, The Relevance of Physics, and The Road to Science and The Ways to God.

Random Variables And A Sovereign God, Lloyd Montzingo

ACMS Conference Proceedings 1981

This paper takes a brief look at the history of conflict between the concepts of chance and divine activity. After reviewing some evidence for randomness in the universe, present philosophical and theological views from four different scientists on this subject are presented. The discussion concludes with some questions and observations concerning those questions.

The Development Of Algebraic Structures During The Nineteenth Century, Richard Stout

ACMS Conference Proceedings 1981

I remember entering the faculty lounge one day while I was in graduate school and hearing a logician chiding some of the algebraists in the room. He said, "Don't you fellows ever get tired of just plus and times?" His remark, said in jest, had more to it than he may have realized. The fact that there is structure to algebra, represented by plus and times, was a vital discovery in the nineteenth century. It would lead algebra away from a reliance on numbers to a much more formal approach, one in which many different types of algebraic structures could …

Mathematics As Rhyme, Vern Poythress

ACMS Conference Proceedings 1981

Using the analogy between the universe and a choral poem, one may view mathematics as the “rhyme” of the universe. In that perspective new light is thrown on the unique subject matter of mathematics, the a priori character of its truths, and the relation of mathematics to other areas of knowledge. A route is thereby opened for richer use of creativity in mathematics.

A Reaction To The Poythress Paper, Paul J. Zwier

ACMS Conference Proceedings 1981

This paper reacts to the metaphor of Vern Sheridan Poythress’s papers, Science as Allegory, exploring what makes a good metaphor and the quality of argument it produces.

Science As Allegory, Vern Poythress

ACMS Conference Proceedings 1981

The universe is God’s choral poem, and science is a system of allegories within it. That is the thesis that I propose to expound and defend. Yet it is not a “thesis” at all, if the word “thesis” commits me to a certain kind of strict logical defense. I am not putting forward my thesis that science is allegory as the endpoint of a deductive or inductive argument. Rather, it is a springboard for a program of exploration and reflection that turns upside-down some conventional ways of thinking about science.
