Cantor's Concept Of Infinity: Implications Of Infinity For Contingence, Bruce A. Hedman
Cantor's Concept Of Infinity: Implications Of Infinity For Contingence, Bruce A. Hedman
ACMS Conference Proceedings 1991
Georg Cantor (1845-1918) was a devout Lutheran whose explicit Christian beliefs shaped his philosophy of science. Joseph Dauben has traced the impact Cantor's Christian convictions had on the development of transfinite set theory. In this paper I propose to examine how Cantor's transfinite set theory has contributed to an increasingly contingent world view in modern science. The contingence of scientific theories is not just a cautious tentativeness, but arises out of the actual state of the universe itself. The mathematical entities Cantor studied, transfinite numbers, he admitted were fraught with paradoxes. But he believed that they were grounded in a …

Using Mathematica To Teach Calculus, Russell W. Howell
ACMS Conference Proceedings 1991
For the past two years Westmont College has been one of the beta test sites for the calculus reform experiment being conducted at the University of Illinois under the direction of Jerry Uhl. Brown, Porta, and Uhl have created text which is integrated with Mathematica, a very powerful symbol manipulation, graphics, and number crunching software package produced by Wolfram Research, Inc. A preliminary version of this text has just been released [2]. We have used the Illinois materials for an honors course of incoming Freshmen with prior calculus experience. The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the curriculum and …
Reviving The Argument From Design: Detecting Design Through Small Probabilities, William A. Dembski
Reviving The Argument From Design: Detecting Design Through Small Probabilities, William A. Dembski
ACMS Conference Proceedings 1991
How small do probabilities of events have to get before we refuse to attribute those events to chance? Smallness of probability is itself not enough since events with extremely small probability occur all the time. But when such events are also prespecified, it becomes difficult to attribute their occurrence to chance. Typically we search for a causal account of how chance was offset. Lacking such a causal story, however, are we still justified in asserting that an extremely improbable prespecified event was not the result of chance? This question is relevant to such diverse areas as prophecy, miracles, parapsychology, gambling, …

Can Mathematical Methods Yield Theological Truth?, Jan De Koning
Can Mathematical Methods Yield Theological Truth?, Jan De Koning
ACMS Conference Proceedings 1991
This paper discusses the negative impact mathematical methods in theology can have on the church by looking specifically at Arminius and Voetius, Dutch theologians living in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth century. Both Arminius and Voetius used mathematical methodology, although they came to different conclusions. I think their differences were due to their different worldviews, which in turn were fundamentally influenced by their upbringing. Both theologians, however, made the same mistake with their methodology and the church split because of that mistake.
How Has Christian Theology Furthered Mathematics?, Gene B. Chase
How Has Christian Theology Furthered Mathematics?, Gene B. Chase
ACMS Conference Proceedings 1991
In revising my Bibliography of Christianity and Mathematics to include material prior to the 20th century, it is difficult to know what to include and what to exclude, since Christian presuppositions informed much scholarship in a vague, cultural sort of way. This paper is a first cut at attempting to narrow down candidates for that Bibliography by looking for specific ways in which Christian theology has furthered mathematics.
