On The Aviation Trail In The Wright Brothers' West Side Neighborhood In Dayton, Ohio, Mary Ann Johnson

Following in the Footsteps of the Wright Brothers: Their Sites and Stories

The West Side Dayton neighborhood where Wilbur and Orville Wright lived, worked and invented the airplane includes five historic buildings or building sites, all within a block or two of each other, that represent the five major periods in the brothers' lives. This paper tells the story of the five sites at three different periods in time: 1) when they were occupied by the Wrights during the turn of the last century, 2) when they were discovered by Aviation Trail in 1981 and 3) today, in 2001. The stories of the earliest period show the historical significance of each of …

From Wright Flyers To Aerial Thermography: The 1910 Wright Brother's Hangar At Huffman Prairie, Michael L. Hargrave, Dave Babson, Thomas L. Sever, Dwain K. Butler

Following in the Footsteps of the Wright Brothers: Their Sites and Stories

The Huffman Prairie Flying Field, now a National Historic Landmark located at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, was the scene of many of the Wright Brother's activities between 1904 and 1916. Following their remarkable success at Kitty Hawk in 1903, Wilbur and Orville Wright returned home to develop a versatile and marketable airplane. They used Huffman Prairie as a site to test aircraft and train pilots. There they constructed (in 1904, 1905, and 1910) a series of modest structures to house their aircraft. While each of these buildings is historically important, the 1910 hangar is the focus of this paper. From …

Rumors Of Flight: The Photographic Record Of The Wright Brothers At Huffman Prairie, Jeffery Alan John

Following in the Footsteps of the Wright Brothers: Their Sites and Stories

Today, one hundred years after the Wright Brothers conducted their research leading to powered flight, we can revisit the period between 1900 and 1905. We know what the brothers did, and how they did it, largely because the Wrights conscientiously recorded their work both visually and verbally. In this sense, they showed an extraordinary dimension of their inventiveness. The camera was an important instrument of their research. The Wright Brothers as inventors had a unique understanding of the power of photography to make an accurate representation of reality (Nolan, 1984). As a result, the Wright Brothers have left us a …

The Wright Stuff: The Mathematics Of The Wright Brothers, Robert N. Mccullough

Following in the Footsteps of the Wright Brothers: Their Sites and Stories

On a cold and blustery day in December of 1903 near the town of Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, two brothers from Dayton, Ohio, Wilbur and Orville Wright, haul an ungainly looking craft from a shed and get ready to attempt a feat that has never been accomplished before - to fly a heavier-than-air powered airplane with a person on board.

The weather conditions that day were terrible. The temperature was 34 degrees F and the winds were steadily blowing between 20 and 30 miles an hour [McFarland, 395].1 The wind chill (according to modern tables) was around 8 degrees F …

What Mathematical Paradoxes Teach Us About Paradoxes In Christianity, Paul Bialek

ACMS Conference Proceedings 2001

In Christian academic circles, we talk about the integration of our faith and learning. That is, we seek to discover and develop connections between our Christian faith and our particular discipline. This is notoriously difficult when the discipline is mathematics. I have found that asking myself these three questions has helped me to integrate my Christian faith with mathematics, although they could be applied to any discipline: (1) How does the fact that I am a Christian affect the way I view mathematics? (2) How does the fact that I am a mathematician affect the way I view Christianity? (3) …

Gravitational Acceleration In Hades, Andrew Simoson

ACMS Conference Proceedings 2001

Does acceleration due to gravity increase or decrease upon descending from Earth’s surface? The answer—as we show—depends on one’s model for Earth’s density. For our Earth, gravity increases before it collapses to zero at Earth center.

Theism & Mathematical Realism, John Byl

ACMS Conference Proceedings 2001

This paper examines connections between theism and mathematical realism. Mathematical realism, which offers the best account of mathematics, strongly supports theism. Theism, in turn, supports mathematical realism. Theism readily explains the intricate relations between mathematics, matter, and mind. The attributes of the biblical God provide justification for classical mathematics.

Mathematics Memory Verses: Weekly Devotionals For Math Class, Mark Colgan

ACMS Conference Proceedings 2001

Each Monday during the semester I start class with a short devotional on a verse that relates in some way to mathematics. After three weeks I choose one of the three at random for students to write out on their quiz for a possible bonus point. This encourages students to practice memorizing Scripture and it gives us the opportunity to discuss biblical principles that relate to some of the topics we are studying in the course.

I would like to share some of the Bible verses and weekly devotionals I have used in my mathematics classes. These can be organized …
