The Tradition Of Large Integers In Historical Arithmetical Textbooks, Franka Miriam Bruckler, Vladimir Stilinovic

The Mathematics Enthusiast

After the Hindu-Arabic decimal positional system was introduced in Europe, throughout many centuries textbooks on elementary arithmetic, intended for beginners, had a more or less fixed organization of content, usually starting with chapters on numeration. These chapters, as a rule, contained one or more examples of large integers the purpose of which was simply to be named (read out loud), sometimes also vice versa. This tradition apparently began with the two first texts that significantly contributed to the spread of the decimal system in Europe—the Latin translations of al- Khwarizmi’s treatise on decimal arithmetic, and Leonardo’s Liber Abaci, containing examples …

Will They Automatically Work Together? Cooperation Among Non-Fools In Hobbes´S Leviathan, Karim Pluma

The Mathematics Enthusiast

Thomas Hobbes´s State of War is commonly imagined as a harrowing condition where hostile interactions are the rule and non-hostile encounters are the rare exception. However, while it is generally true that Hobbes purposely outlined his famed condition of anarchy as a condition of perennial conflict, it is also equally true that cooperative behavior was not uncommon. In fact, by only taking into account cooperative behavior, as presented in Leviathan, the anarchic humans leave the absolute uncertainties of the State of War and create the Commonwealth for their safety and well-being. Over the past fifty years or so, several exits …

An Examination Of The Factors And Characteristics That Contribute To The Success Of Putnam Fellows, Robert A. J. Stroud, Thomas C. Defranco

The Mathematics Enthusiast

The William Lowell Putnam Mathematical Competition is an intercollegiate mathematics competition for students in the United States and Canada and is regarded as the most prestigious and challenging mathematics competition in North America (Alexanderson, 2004; AMS, 2020; Grossman, 2002; Reznick, 1994; Schoenfeld, 1985). Students who earn the five highest scores on the examination are named Putnam Fellows. Since its inception in 1938, only 306 individuals have won the competition and a select few have won multiple times. Clearly, being named a Putnam Fellow is a remarkable achievement and therefore, understanding the factors and characteristics that contribute to their success is …

Tagging Opportunities To Learn: A Coding Scheme For Student Tasks, Janet Heine Barnett, Cihan Can, Daniel E. Otero

The Mathematics Enthusiast

This article describes the development of a coding scheme for analyzing mathematical tasks in Primary Source Projects (PSPs), curriculum materials based on primary historical sources designed for teaching standard topics from today’s undergraduate mathematics curriculum. Our scheme attends to social-cultural aspects of mathematical learning while focusing on the student actions expected as they work tasks. We exemplify our scheme with tasks drawn from a diverse set of PSPs and report results from its application to these projects. We conclude with comments on how our work can assist instructors, curriculum developers, and researchers, including those who are interested in other types …

Using Gardner's Three-Squares Problem For A Group Project In A Mathematical Problem Solving Module, Jonathan Hoseana

The Mathematics Enthusiast

Consider a 1 x 3 grid whose top-left vertex is connected to the bottom-right vertex of each of the unit squares. What is the sum of the three acute angles formed by the connecting segments with the unit squares' bases? This is the so-called three-squares problem, often attributed to Gardner. In a recent academic year, the author used a video on this problem, produced by the YouTube channel Numberphile, for a group project in a first-semester undergraduate module: Mathematical Problem Solving. The project involved collaborative writing on the problem and individual completion of a peer-assessment form. We report the outcomes …

British Translators, Bhagat Singh, And ‘Atheism’: How ‘Reverse Translation’ Alters The Meaning Of Philosophical Concepts, Ruth Vanita

Global Humanities and Religions Faculty Publications

This chapter is a preliminary enquiry into a process for which I have invented the term ‘reverse translation’ since there seems to be no specific term available for it. Reverse translation is the process by which the meaning of a Hindu philosophical concept changes in Indian languages because of a process of incorrect translation to and from English.

Chinese Economic Behavior In Southeast Asia: A Historical And Cultural Overview Of The Migration Patterns, Culture, And Business Practices Of The Chinese Diaspora In Southeast Asia, Zachary Szklarz

Undergraduate Theses, Professional Papers, and Capstone Artifacts

For hundreds of years, ethnic Chinese have set sail in hopes of peace and economic prosperity in Southeast Asia. Over time, these immigrants became paramount to the culture, economies, and politics of their newfound homes. The immense success of these Chinese migrants and their descendants is based on two main factors: maintaining in-group preference in business and social life without explicit discrimination towards outsiders and holding individuals who have achieved wealth through ethical Confucianist means in high esteem. Unique among diaspora groups, the emigrants from China managed to become fully integrated in their adoptive homelands, while still maintaining traditional customs, …

Addressing Issues In Global Food Systems Contributing To Food Injustice And Waste On A Local Level In Missoula, Mt, Jocelyn Stansberry, Devin Jacaruso, Abbe Feilzer, Gabby Adams, Rianna Bowers, Livi Lackland-Henry

Undergraduate Theses, Professional Papers, and Capstone Artifacts

Food waste and insecurity are two of the most pressing issues of our time. We, as a planet, produce more food than necessary-- enough to feed the entire global population and then some. Yet, millions of people still struggle to find reliable access to food due to inefficient distribution within our global systems. As people face the incredible struggle of starvation and malnourishment produced, in part, by these global systems, they often are forced to notice the lack of meaningful support from within their communities, separating those in need from those that could help. Food waste and community resilience are …
