SPIRITUAL ASPIRATIONS CONNECTED WITH MATHEMATICS: THE EXPERIENCE OF AMERICAN UNIVERSITY STUDENTS
AMERICAN UNIVERSITY STUDENTS MATHEMATICS
2008/10/28
In the1960s I got a Ph.D. in mathematics and worked for about 10 years in the Mathematics Department of a large University. Thereafter I left mathematics to work in cognition, philosophy of science, r...
The purpose of the investigation was to ascertain what mathematical problem solving is in the primary and secondary mathematics classroom. Participants (N=20) were primarily university professors with...

UNDERSTANDING MATHEMATICS
2008/10/28
The word “understanding” is widely used in discussion about learning and doing mathematics. It can mean many things. This paper will concentrate on a meaning which it will be claimed is central to t...
MATHEMATICS AND THE MORAL SCIENCES:The Value of Value-Free Mathematics
Value Value-Free Mathematics
2008/10/28
Most modern practitioners of the art of mathematics, as well as those who only admire it from afar (some with not a little trepidation), share an image of mathematics as a realm of abstract thought, w...
EPISTEMOLOGY PLUS VALUES EQUALS CLASSROOM IMAGE OF MATHEMATICS
the impact of values mathematics
2008/10/28
What is the impact of values on the mathematics classroom? In this paper I advance the thesis that an epistemology or philosophy of mathematics combined with a set of values provides the basis for the...
Finitary and Infinitary Mathematics, the Possibility of Possibilities and the Definition of Probabilities.
many-minds quantum theory finitary and infinitary mathematics
2008/4/22
Some relations between physics and finitary and infinitary mathematics are explored in the context of a many-minds interpretation of quantum theory. The analogy between mathematical ``existence'' and ...
On Optimism and Opportunism in Applied Mathematics (Mark Wilson Meets John von Neumann on Mathematical Ontology)
Applied mathematics axiomatic method
2008/4/22
Applied mathematics often operates by way of shakily rationalized expedients that can neither be understood in a deductive-nomological nor in an anti-realist setting. Rather do these complexities, so ...
Spacetime, Structural Realism, and the Substantival/Relational Debate: An Ontological Investigation from the Perspective of Structural Realism in the Philosophy of Mathematics
spacetime structural realism substantivalism relationism
2008/4/21
This essay explores structural realist interpretation of spacetime with special emphasis on the close interrelationship between, on the one hand, ontological debates in spacetime structural realism an...
The Mathematics of Non-Individuality
quasi-sets indiscernibible objects indistinguishability quantum objects
2008/4/21
Some of the forerunners of quantum theory regarded the basic entities of such theories as 'non-individuals'. One of the problems is to treat collections of such 'things', for they do not obey the axio...
Burgess and Rosen argue that Yablo’s figuralist account of mathematics fails because it says mathematical claims are really only metaphorical. They suggest Yablo’s view is implausible as an account of...
Current approaches to mathematical cognition divide into two major camps. Cognitive studies try to render mathematical intuition—the faculty that gives us immediate and authoritative knowledge of math...
The purpose of this paper is to expound and clarify the mathematics and explanations commonly employed in certain notable areas of astronomy and astrophysics. The first section concentrates upon the m...

In 1908, Henri Poincaré claimed that:
...the mathematical facts worthy of being studied are those which, by their analogy with other facts, are capable of leading us to the knowledge of a mathematica...
