Poincaré’s Philosophy of Mathematics
Jules Henri Poincaré was an important French mathematician, scientist and philosopher in the late nineteenth and early twentieth century who was especially known for his conventionalist philosophy.  Most of his publishing was in analysis, topology, probability, mechanics and mathematical physics.  His overall philosophy of mathematics is Kantian because he believes that intuition provides a foundation for all of mathematics, including geometry. He advocated conventionalism for some principles of science, most notably for the choice of applied geometry (the geometry that is best paired with physics for an account of reality).  But the choice of a geometric system is not an arbitrary convention.  According to Poincaré, we choose the system based on considerations of simplicity and efficiency given the overall empirical and theoretical situation in which we find ourselves.  Along with the desiderata of theoretical simplicity and efficiency, empirical information must inform and guide our choices, including our geometric choices.  Thus, even with respect to applied geometry, where Poincaré is at his most conventional, empirical information is crucial to the choice we make.

    48. Mathematics, The Applicability Of  [Internet Encyclopedia Of Philosophy]

    Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy
    The Applicability of Mathematics
    As philosophers, our first goal should be to clarify the different problems associated with the applicability of mathematics. This article suggests some potential solutions to these problems. Section 1 considers one version of the problem of applicability tied to what is often called “Frege’s Constraint,” which is the view that an adequate account of a mathematical domain must explain the applicability of this domain outside of mathematics. Section 2 considers the role of mathematics in the formulation and discovery of new theories. This leaves out several different potential contributions that mathematics might make to science such as unification, explanation and confirmation. These are discussed in section 3, where it is suggested that a piecemeal approach to understanding the applicability of mathematics is the most promising strategy for philosophers to pursue.

    Gottlob Frege (1848-1925) remains one of the most influential philosophers of mathematics and is thought by many to be the first philosopher in the analytic tradition . Frege’s main goal was to argue for a logicist One of Frege’s opponents is the formalist In this sense of “applicability,” it is fairly uncontroversial that mathematics is applicable; and we can grant that any viable philosophy of mathematics must supply a subject-matter for mathematical claims. But notice that Frege’s argument against formalism does not rule out a

    Mathematics
    Mathematics is commonly defined as the study of patterns of structure, change, and space. In the modern formalist view, it is the investigation of axiomatically defined abstract structures using logic and mathematical notation . Mathematics is often abbreviated to math in North America and maths in other English-speaking countries. These specific structures investigated often have their origin in the natural sciences , most commonly in physics , but mathematicians also define and investigate structures for reasons purely internal to mathematics, because the structures may provide, for instance, a unifying generalization for several subfields, or a helpful tool for common calculations. Finally, many mathematicians study the areas they do for purely aesthetic reasons, viewing mathematics as an art form rather than as a practical or applied science Table of contents showTocToggle("show","hide") 1 History of mathematics

    REFERENCE MATERIAL
    What is a reference resource?
    When searching for information in the library, often circulating books and magazines will not answer all of your questions. Reference books are good sources for getting an overview of a topic and for finding specific facts. Reference books collect information for researchers on thousands of topics and arrange them so that they can easily be found. Because they contain so much information and many people use them, they must remain in the library. The most commonly used reference books are almanacs, dictionaries, encyclopedias, atlases, and indexes.
    • Almanacs are books with facts that are usually published yearly. They have short articles on events that happened during the year. Almanacs contain many statistics and facts. Use an almanac when quick bits of information are needed. Atlases are more than a book of maps. Some provide information on particular subjects like population, geology, weather, economy and society. Historical atlases show how the boundaries of a country have changed with time.

    Mathematics disorder is a condition in which a child's math ability is far below normal for their age, intelligence, and education.
    Causes
    Children who have mathematics disorder may have trouble performing simple mathematical equations, such as counting and adding. Mathematical disorder may appear with:
    Symptoms
    Early difficulties with arithmetic are noticed, as well as low scores in math classes and tests Some of the problems seen include:
    • Trouble with reading, writing, and copying numbers Problems counting and adding numbers, often making simple mistakes Difficulty telling the difference between addition and subtraction Problems understanding math symbols and word problems Unable to line up numbers properly to add, subtract, or multiply Unable to arrange numbers from smallest to largest, or the opposite

    The Mathematics of Boolean Algebra
    First published Fri Jul 5, 2002; substantive revision Fri Feb 27, 2009
    1. Definition and simple properties
    A Boolean algebra (BA) is a set A A such that the following laws hold: commutative and associative laws for addition and multiplication, distributive laws both for multiplication over addition and for addition over multiplication, and the following special laws:
    These laws are better understood in terms of the basic example of a BA, consisting of a collection A of subsets of a set X closed under the operations of union, intersection, complementation with respect to X X x y if and only if x y y X x y x y y x ). Then A x y x y x y x x . This makes the ring into a BA. These two processes are inverses of one another, and show that the theory of Boolean algebras and of rings with identity in which every element is idempotent are definitionally equivalent. This puts the theory of BAs into a standard object of research in algebra. An atom in a BA is a nonzero element a such that there is no element b b a x y is the least upper bound of x and y , and x y is the greatest lower bound of x and y X is the least upper bound of a set X X is the greatest lower bound of a set X of elements. These do not exist for all sets in all Boolean algebras; if they do always exist, the Boolean algebra is said to be complete.

    Fictionalism in the Philosophy of Mathematics
    First published Tue Apr 22, 2008 Mathematical fictionalism (or as I'll call it, fictionalism abstract mathematical nominalism , the view that there are no such things as mathematical objects. false ? But the appeal of fictionalism starts to emerge when we realize what the alternatives are. By thinking carefully about the issues surrounding the interpretation of mathematical discourse, it can start to seem that fictionalism is actually very plausible, and indeed, that it might just be the least crazy view out there. Section 1 provides a formulation of what might be thought of as the central argument for fictionalism. Section 2 provides a discussion of a number of different objections to fictionalism, as well as a number of different versions of fictionalism. These two things go together very naturally, because the different versions of fictionalism have emerged in connection with the responses that different philosophers have given to the various objections to fictionalism.
