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

Reality And Imagination In Mathematics And Religion, Dave Neuhouser
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.
