Random Variables And A Sovereign God, Lloyd Montzingo Jun 1981

Random Variables And A Sovereign God, Lloyd Montzingo

ACMS Conference Proceedings 1981

This paper takes a brief look at the history of conflict between the concepts of chance and divine activity. After reviewing some evidence for randomness in the universe, present philosophical and theological views from four different scientists on this subject are presented. The discussion concludes with some questions and observations concerning those questions.

The Development Of Algebraic Structures During The Nineteenth Century, Richard Stout Jun 1981

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 …

Mathematics As Rhyme, Vern Poythress Jun 1981

Mathematics As Rhyme, Vern Poythress

ACMS Conference Proceedings 1981

Using the analogy between the universe and a choral poem, one may view mathematics as the “rhyme” of the universe. In that perspective new light is thrown on the unique subject matter of mathematics, the a priori character of its truths, and the relation of mathematics to other areas of knowledge. A route is thereby opened for richer use of creativity in mathematics.

A Reaction To The Poythress Paper, Paul J. Zwier Jun 1981

A Reaction To The Poythress Paper, Paul J. Zwier

ACMS Conference Proceedings 1981

This paper reacts to the metaphor of Vern Sheridan Poythress’s papers, Science as Allegory, exploring what makes a good metaphor and the quality of argument it produces.

Science As Allegory, Vern Poythress Jun 1981

Science As Allegory, Vern Poythress

ACMS Conference Proceedings 1981

The universe is God’s choral poem, and science is a system of allegories within it. That is the thesis that I propose to expound and defend. Yet it is not a “thesis” at all, if the word “thesis” commits me to a certain kind of strict logical defense. I am not putting forward my thesis that science is allegory as the endpoint of a deductive or inductive argument. Rather, it is a springboard for a program of exploration and reflection that turns upside-down some conventional ways of thinking about science.

Recommendations For Master's Level Programs In Computer Science: A Report Of The Acm Curriculum Committee On Computer Science, Kenneth I. Magel, Richard H. Austing, Alfs Berztiss, Gerald L. Engel, John W. Hamblen, A. A. J. Hoffmann, Robert Mathis Jan 1981

Recommendations For Master's Level Programs In Computer Science: A Report Of The Acm Curriculum Committee On Computer Science, Kenneth I. Magel, Richard H. Austing, Alfs Berztiss, Gerald L. Engel, John W. Hamblen, A. A. J. Hoffmann, Robert Mathis

Computer Science Faculty Publications

The ACM Committee on Curriculum in Computer Science has spent two years investigating master's degree programs in Computer Science. This report contains the conclusions of that effort. Recommendations are made concerning the form, entrance requirements, possible courses, staffing levels, intent, library resources, and computing resources required for an academic, professional, or specialized master's degree. These recommendations specify minimum requirements which should be met by any master's programs. The Committee believes that the details of a particular master's program should be determined and continually updated by the faculty involved. A single or a small number of model programs are not as …

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 …
