Fundamental Mathematics

What Mathematics Is The Most Fundamental ?

Standard mathematics involves such notions as infinitely small/large, continuity and standard division. However, some of these notions are treated differently in traditional and constructive versions. This mathematics is usually treated as fundamental while finite mathematics is treated as inferior. Standard mathematics has foundational problems (as follows, for example, from Gödel’s incomplete...

What Mathematics Is The Most Fundamental ? Felix

Standard mathematics involves such notions as infinitely small/large, continuity and standard division. This mathematics is usually treated as fundamental while finite mathematics is treated as inferior. Standard mathematics has foundational problems (as follows, for example, from Gödel’s incompleteness theorems) but it is usually believed that this is less important than the fact that it descr...

Discrete and Continuous: A Fundamental Dichotomy in Mathematics

What ain’t mathematics education?!

Abstract: In 1996 at the first Iranian Mathematics Education Conference (IMEC1) that was held in Isfahan. I obliged myself as a mathematics educator, to inform the mathematics community at large by presenting a paper entitled “what is mathematics education?” to pave the way for the establishment of the master program of mathematics education in Iran. Now, after 16 years, we need to reflect on t...

Correlating Student Performance in Fundamental of Construction Science Course with Mathematics and Physics Grade Point Average

It is believed that the performance of Construction Management (CM) students in their undergraduate study is dependent on their mathematics and physics performance. A Fundamental of Construction Science (FCS) course, offered for freshman, covers materials related to mathematics and physics. CM students must perform better in mathematics and physics to perform better in FCS course. This study ai...
