Book Review: Mathematicians under the Nazis, Volume 52, Number 4
Imagine an eminent scientist whose work impresses by its depth, by its impact, and by its beauty. It has become a cornerstone of research and education alike and provides strong inspiration and encouragement for younger scientists to tackle difficult problems of similar potential. Now one of the disciples discovers the fact, not usually mentioned in a scientific context, that this scientist sup...
متن کاملBook Review: Contemporary Sensorimotor Theory
Consciousness, with its irreducible subjective character, was almost exclusively a philosophical topic until relatively recently. Today, however, the problem of explaining the felt quality of experience has also become relevant to science and engineering, including robotics andAI: “What would we have to build into a robot so that it really felt the touch of a finger, the redness of red, or the ...

then so is the curve x(−t), as is easily verified by direct computation. (Note that d/dt(x(−t)) = ẍ(−t), since the two derivatives pull out two minus signs.) In terms of trajectories in phase space, we note that dx(−t)/dt = −ẋ(−t). This means that the momentum of the particle along the time-reversed trajectory is the negative of the momentum along the original trajectory. We may therefore formu...
متن کاملFuzzy Set Theory - a Playground for Mathematicians
When Zadeh first introduced the notion of a fuzzy set, it was laughed away by the ruling caste of 'serious' mathematicians and logicians. Driven by ignorance, the main reason for it was probably strategic: as fuzzy set theory touches upon the very building block of mathematics, it might be better to deny it than to risk being taken out of business. Even the ample practical realizations had no e...
