Teaching The History Of Mathematics Using Architecture And Art, Maria Zack

ACMS Conference Proceedings 2005

Point Loma Nazarene University (PLNU) is a Christian university deeply committed to teaching in the liberal arts tradition. As a consequence, all of our students take roughly 64 semester hours of “general education” courses as part of the 128 semester hours required for graduation. One of the challenges of teaching at such an institution is helping students to value the core curriculum. I recently taught “Topics in Mathematics: Mathematics, Art and Architecture.” My goal was to help students see, discuss and understand connections between the mathematics that they were studying and some aspects of the general education core that is …

James Clerk Maxwell And Why Read Biographies, Sean Bird

ACMS Conference Proceedings 2005

Why do we read about the lives of others? This paper discusses the value of reading biographies and examines the life of physicist-mathematician James Clerk Maxwell.

Jesus, Plato, Math And Theology: What Is Truth?, Paul Moffett

ACMS Conference Proceedings 2005

Mathematical ontology is relevant to Christians because so much of Christian theology has been historically shaped by Platonic mathematics and the ontology that goes with it. The various contributors to Mathematics in a Postmodern Age, edited by Howell and Bradley, seem to assume that Christians are necessarily realists in ontology, and they are not alone. But what is the cause of this Christian connection with mathematical realism in ontology? How much has our idea of God been shaped by Plato and his mathematics?

Blaise Pascal - Mathematician, Mystic, Disciple, Tim Rogalsky

ACMS Conference Proceedings 2005

This is the story of a multi-faceted Christian mathematician. Instrumental in the development of calculus, probability theory, and computing machines, Pascal (1623-1662) was a man equally enamoured with mind and spirit. His conversion experience was marked by both rational decision and mystical vision. He is perhaps best known for "Pascal's wager," which simplistic "fire insurance" version of Christianity, demanding little from the convert. However, a more careful reading of his work and his life reveals that Pascal knew much about discipleship and its cost.

Call For A Non-Euclidean, Post-Cantorian Theology, Saburo Matsumoto

ACMS Conference Proceedings 2005

In this paper I propose a new approach to theology, which I refer to as a "non-Euclidean, post-Cantorian" theology. I first review three accomplishments in modern mathematics with lasting philosophical implications: non-Euclidean geometry, set theory, and the Incompleteness Theorems of Gödel. Since all of these are ideas that came after much of traditional theology had already been formed, I challenge that theology be revisited in light of what we can learn from the mathematical struggles that produced these amazing and counter-intuitive truths. I give some concrete examples and propose that such an effort can make non-trivial contribution in theology and …

Bibliography Of Christianity And Mathematics, Gene B. Chase

ACMS Conference Proceedings 2005

The invited address provides historiographic background for the second edition of Bibliography of Christianity and Mathematics. The second edition builds on the first edition written jointly with Calvin Jongsma, on the historiographic work of Ivor Grattan-Guiness, and on the computer skills of Gregory Ross.

Filtering The Bible And Filtering Spam, Gene B. Chase

ACMS Conference Proceedings 2005

I argue that John Craig (1996?–1731) is the first to do Bayesian statistics. Filtering email spam today using Bayes's analysis of 1763 is a new application of an old theorem. Craig 67 years before Bayes's theorem used subjective probabilities reasoning to argue that Jesus would return in the year 3150, because the Bible would eventually come into disrepute (become spam?) then.

Asserting Cs != Can't Spcialize, Building Community In A Computer Science Program, Kim Kihlstrom

ACMS Conference Proceedings 2005

As humans, we are designed to live in community. "Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others" (Romans 12:4-5). We believe it is of critical importance to build community within a computer science program, first of all because it is part of God's calling for us. In addition, building communit allows us to equip students with the interpersonal skills that they need for a productive career, and to attract …

ABOUT THE TEST REPORT AND USE OF THE DATA

The test data contained in this report are a tabulation of the results of a series of tests. Due to the restricted format of these pages, only a limited amount of data and not all of the tractor specifications are included. The full OECD report contains usually about 30 pages of data and specifications. The test data were obtained for each tractor under similar conditions and therefore, provide a means of comparison of performance based on a limited set of reported data.
