As a mathematician, philosopher, logician, historian, socialist, pacifist, and social critic, Bertrand Russell is noted for his "revolt against idealism" in Britain in the early 20th century, as well as his pacifist activism during WWI, a campaign against Adolf Hitler and later the United States' involvement in the Vietnam War. In addition to his political activism, he is considered to be one of the founders of analytic philosophy, receiving the Nobel...

Examines developments in science and the philosophy of knowledge from the pre-Socratic era to the nineteenth century; traces the emergence of a split between commonsense views of the world, and the abstract world portrayed by advanced physics, mathematics, and logic; and argues that the "consistent-histories" approach to quantum mechanics, developed since the 1980s, places commonsense on solid scientific and philosophical footing.

Coherent treatment provides comprehensive view of basic methods and results of the combinatorial study of finite set systems. The Clements-Lindstrom extension of the Kruskal-Katona theorem to multisets is explored, as is the Greene-Kleitman result concerning k-saturated chain partitions of general partially ordered sets. Connections with Dilworth's theorem, the marriage problem, and probability are also discussed. Each chapter ends with a helpful...

Presented in 1962–63 by experts at University College, London, these lectures offer a variety of perspectives on graph theory. Although the opening chapters form a coherent body of graph theoretic concepts, this volume is not a text on the subject but rather an introduction to the extensive literature of graph theory. The seminar's topics are geared toward advanced undergraduate students of mathematics. Lectures by this volume's editor, Frank Harary,...

Dr. Winthrop undertakes to identify the very source of physical law, with a view to explaining why there are any laws at all and why they have the forms they do.
The main idea is to treat the representation of a fact of the external world as a received message. By assuming exact correspondence between the fact and its representation one arrives a general law of physics, a Law of Laws, one that yields both known and new laws governing the behavior...

Nansea Cross, a math teacher and tutor, shares discoveries that make math easier to teach and more exciting to learn. Beginning with the multiplication table, she found that all the multiples of all the numberstaken through a simple processreveal different patterns. Looking deeper, she realized that these patterns repeat, have symmetry, and all add up to the same reduced number. The patterns occur horizontally, vertically, and diagonally in both directions...

More mathematical concepts are addressed at younger ages as a result of Common Core State Standards. In the 6th grade, students do much more in depth work with geometry, ratio and percentage as well as statistics and probability. This is not the first time these concepts are addressed though. The Common Core approach requires going deeper into content learned in earlier years. Because of this need to look at each grade, instead of just one year, a...
