Mathematics In The Christian Philosophy Of Life, C. Ralph Verno Jun 1979

Mathematics In The Christian Philosophy Of Life, C. Ralph Verno

ACMS Conference Proceedings 1979

It is universally agreed that mathematics is important, that it is indeed very significant in life. This would be admitted even by those who are ignorant of or who dislike mathematics. There would be much less agreement, however, about why mathematics is important or significant. Such disagreement exists even more among mathematicians and mathematics educators. Unhappily many of the Christians who think about such things (and there are not very many who think about them at all) basically share the utilitarian view of many non-Christian thinkers, although endeavoring to place it within a Christian context. They think it is wonderful …

Brief Position Paper For Panel Discussion On Relation Of Mathematics And Christianity, C. Ralph Verno Jun 1979

Brief Position Paper For Panel Discussion On Relation Of Mathematics And Christianity, C. Ralph Verno

ACMS Conference Proceedings 1979

Some people view a conjoining of Christianity and Mathematics as improper. They miss the point of the relationship. The content of mathematics is not affected by Christianity. The relationship does not concern what, or how (the Christian doesn’t solve equations or differentiate differently), but it concerns why. It concerns such things as the interpretation and appreciation of the beauty, the symmetries, the coincidences, the remarkable properties, man’s creative role, etc. This paper explores the relationship between Christianity and mathematics as part of a panel discussion on the topic.

Intuitionism, Terence H. Perciante

ACMS Conference Proceedings 1979

Intuitionism derives philosophically from Kant's Conceptualism -- the object of the mathematical knowledge only have reality within the mind, they do not have reality apart from our thinking. This paper examines the nature of intuitionism and its strengths.

Two Philosophical Problems About Mathematics, Stephen Barker Jun 1979

Two Philosophical Problems About Mathematics, Stephen Barker

ACMS Conference Proceedings 1979

Mathematics is a flourishing field of human endeavor, a field that is accorded great respect and high standing. For 2500 years or more, many of the best minds available have worked in this field; and the results produced have indirectly been of enormous value to other fields, such as physics, engineering, architecture, economics, and so on. But with is mathematics about? Physics studies moving bodies; engineering studies bridges; architecture studies buildings; economics studies commercial behavior: here there are phenomena we can point to that constitute the subject matter. But what does mathematics study? If you answer “Numbers”, or “Abstract types …

Axiomatic Structure And The Method Of Analysis: Shifting Styles In The History Of Mathematics, Calvin Jongsma Jun 1979

Axiomatic Structure And The Method Of Analysis: Shifting Styles In The History Of Mathematics, Calvin Jongsma

ACMS Conference Proceedings 1979

This article surveys the different views of mathematical methodology that occurred from ancient Greek times through the early modern period up until its codification around 1900. After summarizing the axiomatic approach advocated by Aristotle and implemented in mathematics by Euclid, the talk explores the character of analysis in ancient Greek times, its development into a symbolic algebra by Viete and Descartes, and its expansion into a calculus of fluxions and differentials by Newton and Leibniz. The article concludes by touching on the recovery and transformation of the deductive ideal for mathematics by Pasch, Peano, and Hilbert during the late nineteenth …

Existence In Mathematics, Willis Alberda Apr 1977

Existence In Mathematics, Willis Alberda

ACMS Conference Proceedings 1977

Contemplation of the existence of mathematical entities for very apparent reasons generates a mental cycling of arguments dealing with the nature of mathematical truth, meaning in mathematics, and the obviously related question of which of these two problems should be solved first. The problem of the existence of mathematical entities dates from the first thoughts and ideas of a mathematical nature. The problem of existence in mathematics is fundamental to the domain of speculation and research on the foundations of mathematics. When we try to put ourselves in the place of those philosophers who first explored this problem we must …

Recent Problems In The Foundationsof Mathematics, Terence H. Perciante Apr 1977

Recent Problems In The Foundationsof Mathematics, Terence H. Perciante

ACMS Conference Proceedings 1977

This paper examines the foundational crises that have haunted twentieth-century mathematics, beginning with a brief review of the effects generated by Gauss, Lobachevsky, and Bolyai who each developed non-Euclidean parallel axiom. Though of mathematical interest in their own right, the significance of the new geometries was greatly magnified when it was discerned that they could be used to adequately model physical space, even to the extent that Einstein’s theory of relativity later employed as its model a non-Euclidean geometry developed by Riemann. The question that obviously presented itself was how could any given geometry be called true when it and …
