Definitions, specification and interpretation | Arithmetic and Geometry Math Foundations 44
We discuss important meta-issues regarding definitions and specification in mathematics. We also introduce the idea that mathematical definitions, expressions, formulas or theorems may support a variety of possible interpretations. Examples use our previous definitions from elementary ge

Finding Eigenvalues and Eigenvectors
In studying linear algebra, we will inevitably stumble upon the concept of eigenvalues and eigenvectors. These sound very exotic, but they are very important not just in math, but also physics. Let's learn what they are, and how to find them! Script by Howard Whittle Watch the whole Math

Alison Etheridge: Spatial population models (1/4)
Abstract: Mathematical models play a fundamental role in theoretical population genetics and, in turn, population genetics provides a wealth of mathematical challenges. In these lectures, we focus on some of the models which arise when we try to model the interplay between the forces of ev

Analytic geometry and the continuum (b) | Math History | NJ Wildberger
The development of Cartesian geometry by Descartes and Fermat was one of the main accomplishments of the 17th century, giving a computational approach to Euclidean geometry. Involved are conics, cubics, Bezout's theorem, and the beginnings of a projective view to curves. This merging of nu

Nietzsche on the Value of Truth (Ken Gemes)
Nietzsche claims that with the rejection of religious underpinning of the value of truth (e.g. truth as God’s word and as something absolute), we can now raise the question of why and to what extent we should value truth. He argues that our need for meaning conflicts with our will to truth
