The Deconstruction Of Mathematics, David J. Stucki
The Deconstruction Of Mathematics, David J. Stucki
ACMS Conference Proceedings 1999
This paper is a criticism of Reuben Hersh's What is Mathematics, Really? and the humanist philosophy of mathematics.
Teaching Linear Algebra And Abstract Algebra With Two Way Video And Audio, Edward Reinke
Teaching Linear Algebra And Abstract Algebra With Two Way Video And Audio, Edward Reinke
ACMS Conference Proceedings 1999
An outline of a presentation discussing teaching two different algebra courses long-distance as well as in a classroom.
Lewis Carroll: Author, Mathematician, And Christian, David L. Neuhouser
Lewis Carroll: Author, Mathematician, And Christian, David L. Neuhouser
ACMS Conference Proceedings 1999
Although a Christian, an author, and a mathematician, Charles Letwidge Dodgson (better known as Lewis Carroll) wrote very few works in which these three aspects of his person was present. The only examples of him merging these interests are in Sylvie and Bruno and Sylvie and Bruno Concluded. This paper will explore what motivated him to make these works and whether or not they were successful.

Tracking The Trochoid On Safari, Andrew Simoson
Tracking The Trochoid On Safari, Andrew Simoson
ACMS Conference Proceedings 1999
While on sabbatical in Dar es Salaam in 1997–98, I was tasked to be the department’s seminar director and discovered that a dearth of speakers roam about in east Africa; so I opted to set up a lecture tour for myself to include Zambia, Zimbabwe, and Botswana as well as Tanzania—and spoke about the envelope of curves generated by a series of line segments obtained when two runners attached by an ideal bungee cord (the line segments) proceed about a circular track. Herein we describe life in east Africa and show that those envelopes are trochoids.
Revolutions In Mathematics (Book Review), Kevin Vander Meulen
Revolutions In Mathematics (Book Review), Kevin Vander Meulen
ACMS Conference Proceedings 1999
A review of Revolutions in Mathematics, edited by Donald Gillies, Clarendon Press, Oxford 1992.
A Mathematician At The Science And Theology Book Club, Greg Crow
A Mathematician At The Science And Theology Book Club, Greg Crow
ACMS Conference Proceedings 1999
This paper is a case study of the insights gained and the contributions made in a weekly Science and Theology Faculty Book Club. The contribution of other group members to the expansion of one’s general understanding of their fields is demonstrated in increased vocabulary, use of existing theoretical models, glimpses of the depth of their disciplines, and in the recognition of the need for humility. The mathematician may contribute by helping to clarify definitions, by applying basic ideas in their own and related fields, and only very rarely by bringing their own research to the table.

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.
