Constructive mathematics without choice
What becomes of constructive constructive mathematics without the axiom of (countable) choice? Using illustrations from a variety of areas, it is argued that it becomes better. Despite the apparent unanimity among schools of constructive mathematics with respect to the acceptance of the countable axiom of choice, I believe it to be one of the central problems, or mysteries, of constructive math...
متن کاملRevisiting data mining: ‘hunting’ with or without a license
The primary objective of this paper is to revisit a number of empirical modeling activities which are often characterized as data mining, in an attempt to distinguish between the problematic and the non-problematic cases. The key for this distinction is provided by the notion of severity proposed by Mayo (1996). It is argued that many unwarranted data mining activities often arise because of in...
متن کاملVariations in teenage activities with and without a driver's license.
High school students were surveyed every 6 months from their freshman through senior years concerning licensing, driving, and transportation to and from their various activities. Students in Delaware (learner's permit can be issued at age 15 years, 10 months; driver's license at age 16) were compared with students in Connecticut and New York (permit at age 16; license at age 16) and in New Jers...
متن کاملPhysiology's impact: Applying mathematics and advanced technologies.
How do you measure the mechanical forces generated by single cells? What are the cues that guide cell migration? What are the interactions between cells that account for cooperative behaviors among cells? To answer these and many other basic questions about biological function, we must have the right tools. Mathematicians have perhaps the ultimate tool in science developed and honed over centur...
متن کاملMathematics is painting without the brush; painting is mathematics without the chalk
Although at a superficial level mathematics and painting may be perceived as of very different nature, they are profoundly similar at a deep conceptual and functional level. The similarity goes far beyond immediate relationships such as the fact that geometry plays a significant role in both disciplines. The deep and significant kinship between math and painting becomes evident, when one consid...
