A Transcendental Method in Algebraic Geometry
It is well known that the basic objects of algebraic geometry, the smooth projective varieties, depend continuously on parameters as well as having the usual discrete invariants such as homotopy and homology groups. What I shall attempt here is to outline a procedure for measuring this continuous variation of structure. This method uses the periods of suitably defined rational differential form...
متن کاملA Robust Method for Solving Transcendental Equations
This paper provides a robust method for solving transcendental equations. The approach, based on the Genetic Algorithm, is commenced with the evaluation of the mathematical equations by their fitness ratio. As the genetic algorithm is a computationally expensive process, the searching space for possible solutions is limited to possible chromosomes for which the function values are closest to ze...
متن کاملAgainst Materialism
Materialism is the idea that human beings are material objects—brains, perhaps, or some part of the brain—without immaterial selves or souls. I give two arguments against materialism. The first is an argument from possibility: it is possible that I should exist when no part of my body exists, in which case I am not identical with my body or any part of my body. The second is an argument from im...
متن کاملAristotelian Materialism
I argue that a modern gloss on Aristotle’s notions of Form and Matter not only allows us to escape a dualism of the psychological and the physical, but also results in a plausible sort of materialism. This is because Aristotle held that the essential nature of any psychological state, including perception and human thought, is to be some physical property. I also show that Hilary Putnam and Mar...
متن کاملThe Materialism of Insanity
The metaphysician, though never so good a theorist, the physician, however sound a practitioner, must both give place to one who, sitting by the well of knowledge, dispenses with grace and justice to his thirsting brethren. He who, by opportunity and industry, can draw the deepest, to him we may look for the best and clearest supply. The pathology of insanity is still in its infancy; nothing is...
