than any particular implementation. It also seems that the "computer metaphor" for mind is not really being abandoned by the connectionists, but simply modified: the classical von Neumann serial processor is replaced with a processor that performs some simple computation in parallel on many data elements (for example, the "Con. *u . ,LI.;u. Q**Q. Q , o * ; .0 0 . OWN. . ....... .* ....... 00. 0...

Most mathematicians consider themselves, at least to some degree, to be both educators and researchers. Yet few embrace or even respect the subject at the intersection of these fields: research in mathematics education. Mathematicians rarely apply their own logical acumen to assessment of teaching and learning, nor do they often read the vast and growing literature in educational research. They...

I t is a widespread fallacy that what mathematics contributes to biology is quantification of an otherwise innumerate science. But experimental biologists have long been expert at measuring and quantifying. The real contribution of mathematics lies in a precise qualitative framework of reasoning. The ratelimiting step in the advance of biology is usually experiment, not theory. (One of the very...

A Sudy on Information Privacy Issue on Social Networks

In the recent years, social networks (SN) are now employed for communication and networking, socializing, marketing, as well as one’s daily life. Billions of people in the world are connected though various SN platforms and applications, which results in generating massive amount of data online. This includes personal data or Personally Identifiable Information (PII). While more and more data a...
