The Mathematical Sciences And The Mediator Of Creation, W. David Laverell May 1997

The Mathematical Sciences And The Mediator Of Creation, W. David Laverell

ACMS Conference Proceedings 1997

This article stems from a conviction that while the development of a theistic view of the mathematical sciences is a laudable goal and much to be encouraged, it is incumbent upon us to explore every avenue that might lead to a distinctively Christian perspective. This leads naturally to a consideration of the unique role played by Christ in Creation, and a convenient framework is provided by seeing Christ as Mediator of Creation. We shall discuss the term itself, examine the biblical passages that seem to present the concept, consider the ways these passages have been understood by theologians, and …

Fractal Geometry And Chaos Theory: From Old Problems To New Models And Methods, Terence H. Perciante May 1997

Fractal Geometry And Chaos Theory: From Old Problems To New Models And Methods, Terence H. Perciante

ACMS Conference Proceedings 1997

Fractal geometry and chaos theory are deeply rooted in significant problems in the history of mathematics and science. While mathematicians have geometrical descriptions of space with its properties, scientists have attempted to characterize the physical properties of fundamental entities present in space and time. The separate investigations frequently influenced each other and led to profound theories, answers, and models. However, at the same time new problems repeatedly arose internal to mathematics and externally in the applications to which mathematics was applied. Fractal geometry issues from these antecedents in response to features and processes in nature not easily represented by historical …

Using Java And Html For Linear Algebra Instruction, Jonathan R. Senning May 1997

Using Java And Html For Linear Algebra Instruction, Jonathan R. Senning

ACMS Conference Proceedings 1997

This paper addresses some of the issues involved with using the HTML, JavaScript and Java to develop and serve a sequence of laboratory modules for use in teaching linear algebra. Attention is paid to the rationale for this approach as opposed to the more traditional approach of laboratory exercises executed using MATLAB or some similar computational tool. Several methods to display mathematics with HTML are described. Some implementation detail and a brief description of the HTML and Java based Linear Algebra Visualization Assistant (LAVA) is presented.

A Tale Of Two Transitions, David Klanderman, Sharon Robbert, Robert Wheeler May 1997

A Tale Of Two Transitions, David Klanderman, Sharon Robbert, Robert Wheeler

ACMS Conference Proceedings 1997

In this paper, we examine transitions to proof courses at two institutions. Bob Wheeler has taught the course at Northern Illinois University. Both Sharon Robbert and Dave Klanderman have taught a related course at Trinity Christian College. We analyze various features of these courses and offer suggestions for other colleges and universities.

Mathematics At Chartres Cathedral, Richard Stout Jan 1997

Mathematics At Chartres Cathedral, Richard Stout

ACMS Journal 2004

Chartres Cathedral is highly regarded as a magnificent Gothic structure including beautiful stained glass windows and striking sculptures. Mathematics, especially geometry, played a central role in the design of this cathedral. This paper explores that mathematics and how it contributes to the overall effectiveness of the design.

Mathematics And Values: Can Philosophy Guide Projects?, Michael H. Veatch Jan 1997

Mathematics And Values: Can Philosophy Guide Projects?, Michael H. Veatch

ACMS Journal 2004

The philosophy of mathematics has provided insight on questions of foundations and mathematical truth; however, it has not been very fruitful in guiding the practice of mathematics. This paper attempts to find points of contact between a Christian worldview and the choice of mathematical projects and methods. Three areas are considered: (i) dubitability in current research, (ii) the intrinsic value of contemporary mathematics to contemporary society, and (iii) the affirmation of human value in the use of mathematics. Finally, a framework for valuing mathematics is proposed as an encouragement to think more deeply about how a Christian might choose a …
