This is made up of three sets of maths modules: the revision modules, the first-level modules and the second-level modules. Each of the first-level and second-level modules starts with a geological context in which some maths arises. From there you can go into the "MathHelp Notebook" on that particular topic. There is also a "glossary" of mathematical words, giving a brief explanation of a given keyword and the option to go to the relevant module. This glossary can be accessed in two ways: either by choosing "Index" below, or by clicking on a highlighted keyword in one of the modules. You are strongly advised to have a pen and paper to hand, to make notes and work things out as you go through.

athematics in iology The construction of this site was funded by a grant from the Hughes Foundation. Thanks to John Lisman and Tricia McDonough for promotion and aid. Geoffrey Dixon , 10 October 1997. The slippery gooiness of biology is a consequence of its incredible complexity, consisting as it does of complex systems based upon chemistry. And chemistry obeys the rules of physics, which exists because of, and is consequently best described by, mathematics. Mathematics is the ur-fluid of Reality (gad, how poetic), and our symbollic attempts to represent mathematics have given us windows through which our mushy grey-matter can peer, and with which this same mushy grey-matter becomes altered, and we call this alteration understanding (a frequently generous appellation). The purpose of these pages is to press our noses against some of the windows that look upon biological systems, and to do it in as interactive and stimulating a way as possible, given the talents of we the page creators. There are four of us: Geoffrey Dixon, Steven Karel, Frank Lonberg and Mike Casey. This site will be evolving rapidly, so things will likely be different each time you look.

Credits MATHEMATICS Greek Mathematics and its Modern Heirs Ptolemy's Geography Greek Astronomy Greek Mathematics and its Modern Heirs Euclid, Elements In Greek Parchment Ninth century Euclid's Elements, written about 300 B.C., a comprehensive treatise on geometry, proportions, and the theory of numbers, is the most long-lived of all mathematical works. This manuscript preserves an early version of the text. Shown here is Book I Proposition 47, the Pythagorean Theorem: the square on the hypotenuse of a right triangle is equal to the sum of the squares on the sides. This is a famous and important theorem that receives many notes in the manuscript. Archimedes, Works In Latin Translated by Jacobus Cremonensis ca. 1458 In the early 1450s, Pope Nicholas V commissioned Jacobus de Sancto Cassiano Cremonensis to make a new translation of Archimedes with the commentaries of Eutocius. This became the standard version and was finally printed in 1544. This early and very elegant manuscript may have been in the possession of Piero della Francesca before coming to the library of the Duke of Urbino. The pages displayed here show the beginning of Archimedes' On Conoids and Spheroids with highly ornate, and rather curious, illumination.

Mathematics is a language we use to identify, describe and investigate the patterns and challenges of everyday living. It helps us to understand the events that have occurred and to predict and prepare for events to come so that we can more fully understand our world and more successfully live in it.

J. McKeen Cattell (1913), owner and editor of Science , "There is not a single mulatto who has done creditable scientific work."In Mathematics, more than any other field of study, have we heard proclamations and statements similar to, " The Negro is incapable of succeeding ." Ancient and present achievements contradict such statements. One of the purposes of this website is to exhibit the inaccuracy of those proclamations by exhibiting the accomplishments of the peoples of Africa and the African Diaspora within the Mathematical Sciences. Less than 1% of all mathematicians are Black 25% of these are women . This website is dedicated to them. There are four primary webpages - see the contents below.

The Philosophical Implications of Mathematics This site examines what we can learn about our human-ness from the act of doing mathematics. Most people agree that music, art, poetry, and literature illuminate, perhaps even define, the human condition. I believe mathematics does the same, perhaps even more so. These pages will explore facets of this belief (in whatever order strikes my fancy)...

You may go to Princeton University Press or to Amazon to pre-order it. Thankfully, the reviews have been very good: Martin Gardner : A Certain Ambiguity is an amazing narrative that glows with a vivid sense of the beauty and wonder of mathematics. The narrator is deeply troubled by the ancient question of whether the objects and theorems of mathematics have a reality independent of human minds. Mixing fiction with nonfiction, A Certain Ambiguity is a veritable history of mathematics disguised as a novel. Starting with the Pythagorean theorem, it moves through number theory and geometry to Cantor's alephs, non-Euclidean geometry, Gödel, and even relativity.

78. INI Programme FIN A 6-month research programme at the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences, University of Cambridge, January to June, 1995. http://www.newton.ac.uk/programmes/FIN/

Institute INI Home Programmes Web Seminars Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences Financial Mathematics 1 January - 30 June 1995 Organisers : MHA Davis ( Imperial ), SD Hodges ( Warwick ), I Karatzas ( Columbia ), LCG Rogers ( Bath Programme theme The programme will comprise visits by many leading academics from the various subjects nowadays involved in the theory and practice of finance, and visits by interested practitioners. There will be two full-scale meetings during the 6 months, the first (supported by the EC) at the beginning of January, designed to introduce themes from mathematical finance to those who have not previously specialised in it, and the second (supported by the Bank of England) in May-June, to present recent developments in the subject. Besides this, there will be a practitioners' workshop at the end of March, and a range of one- or two-week special emphases on specific topics, where attention will be focused on specific problems. Running throughout the six months there will be seminar afternoons on Fridays, approximately once every fortnight. But the most unusual and exciting feature of the programmes at the Newton Institute is that for a prolonged period, many of the world's top people in the subject will be gathered together and interacting, discussing and hopefully solving problems, holding seminars, and generally advancing understanding of the whole area.

80. Indispensability Arguments In The Philosophy Of Mathematics (Stanford Encycloped From the fact that mathematics is indispensable to science, some philosophers have drawn serious metaphysical conclusions. In particular, Quine and Putnam have argued that the indispensability of mathematics to empirical science gives us good reason to believe in the existence of mathematical entities. From the Stanford Encyclopedia. http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/mathphil-indis/

Cite this entry Search the SEP Advanced Search Tools ... Please Read How You Can Help Keep the Encyclopedia Free Indispensability Arguments in the Philosophy of Mathematics First published Mon Dec 21, 1998; substantive revision Tue Jan 15, 2008 One of the most intriguing features of mathematics is its applicability to empirical science. Every branch of science draws upon large and often diverse portions of mathematics, from the use of Hilbert spaces in quantum mechanics to the use of differential geometry in general relativity. It's not just the physical sciences that avail themselves of the services of mathematics either. Biology, for instance, makes extensive use of difference equations and statistics. The roles mathematics plays in these theories is also varied. Not only does mathematics help with empirical predictions, it allows elegant and economical statement of many theories. Indeed, so important is the language of mathematics to science, that it is hard to imagine how theories such as quantum mechanics and general relativity could even be stated without employing a substantial amount of mathematics. but this one is by far the most influential, and so in what follows I'll concentrate on it.
