Book excerpt: The mathematical reading public unacquainted with German is under considerable obligation to Professor Beman for the present faithful rendering of these two celebrated essays of Dedekind. Modern logical views of continuity and arithmetic are largely based on the results which Dedekind and his contemporary, G. Cantor, furnished (the first of their essays was published in 1872), and it is good that these investigations should be made accessible to all readers in their original form. Furthermore, the German of these essays is not the easiest imaginable reading, and the interpretation of the forms of expression which Professor Beman has given and which has involved considerable study, will also be welcome to readers of German who are in the habit of purchasing but not perusing German books. "In science," remarks Dedekind, "nothing capable of proof ought to be accepted without proof." But in laying the foundations of the simplest of the sciences, "viz., that part of logic which deals with the theory of numbers," this postulate has not been complied with. In saying that arithmetic (algebra and analysis) is a branch of logic, Dedekind by implication asserts that the number-concept "is entirely independent of the notions or intuitions of space and time . . . an immediate result of the laws of thought." His answer to the question of the nature and meaning of numbers is that "numbers are free creations of the human mind and serve as a means of apprehending more easily and more sharply the difference of things." He continues in the preface to his essay of 1887: "It is only through the purely logical process of building up the science of numbers and by thus acquiring the continuous number-domain that we are prepared accurately to investigate our notions of space and time by bringing them into relation with this number-domain created in our mind. If we scrutinise closely what is done in counting an aggregate or number of things, we are led to consider the ability of the mind to relate things to things, to let a thing correspond to a thing, or to represent a thing by a thing, an ability without which no thinking is possible. Upon this unique and therefore absolutely indispensable foundation, . . . must in my judgment, the whole science of numbers be established." Such is the fundamental idea of Dedekind's thought. He succeeded by means of it in building up a continuous number-system which included not only rational numbers but also, and necessarily, irrational numbers. These memoirs can, as their own author remarks, "be understood by any one possessing what is usually called good common sense; no technical philosophic, or mathematical, knowledge is in the least degree required." -The Monist, Vol. 13

This book was released on 2008-04-01 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An Award-Winning Essayist Plies His Craft Brian Hayes is one of the most accomplished essayists active today—a claim supported not only by his prolific and continuing high-quality output but also by such honors as the National Magazine Award for his commemorative Y2K essay titled "Clock of Ages," published in the November/December 1999 issue of The Sciences magazine. (The also-rans that year included Tom Wolfe, Verlyn Klinkenborg, and Oliver Sacks.) Hayes's work in this genre has also appeared in such anthologies as The BestAmerican Magazine Writing, The Best American Science and NatureWriting, and The Norton Reader. Here he offers us a selection of his most memorable and accessible pieces—including "Clock of Ages"—embellishing them with an overall, scene-setting preface, reconfigured illustrations, and a refreshingly self-critical "Afterthoughts" section appended to each essay.
Download or read book Numbers and the World written by David Mumford and published by American Mathematical Society. This book was released on 2023-09-27 with total page 259 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a collection of essays written by a distinguished mathematician with a very long and successful career as a researcher and educator working in many areas of pure and applied mathematics. The author writes about everything he found exciting about math, its history, and its connections with art, and about how to explain it when so many smart people (and children) are turned off by it. The three longest essays touch upon the foundations of mathematics, upon quantum mechanics and Schrödinger's cat phenomena, and upon whether robots will ever have consciousness. Each of these essays includes some unpublished material. The author also touches upon his involvement with and feelings about issues in the larger world. The author's main goal when preparing the book was to convey how much he loves math and its sister fields.

Determined to find his own path, Fitzroy turned to writing as a way to express his ideas and insights. He began crafting short stories that explored the mysteries of the human psyche, often incorporating abstract concepts and philosophical ideas into his writing. Despite his struggles with mathematical problem-solving, a few of his stories resonated with readers and were admired for their emotional power and insight. Join Fitzroy on his journey through "Searching for N" and discover the beauty and power of number theory, and the importance of perseverance and passion in pursuing one's dreams.
