A Computer-Assisted Instructional System And Its Application To A Course On Computer Structures And Hardware, Tahir Mufti

Masters Theses

Computer-Assisted Instruction is a powerful tool which is fast becoming an integral part of the instructional system in schools.

The objective of this study is to review the techniques used to provide Computer-Assisted Instruction and to present such an instructional system called LEARN which is general enough to be applied towards the teaching of any subject. Also included are notes on the application of the LEARN system to a subject entitled "Computer Structures and Hardware".

Theology And Philosophy Of Mathematics, Russell V. Benson

ACMS Conference Proceedings 1981

This paper examines history and philosophy to explore the answer to the theological question of whether or not Christians should pursue the mathematical sciences.

Some Contributions Of Stanley Jaki To An Understanding Of Mathematics, Paul Devries

ACMS Conference Proceedings 1981

This paper comments on passages from the books by Stanley L. Jaki, Science and Creation, The Relevance of Physics, and The Road to Science and The Ways to God.

Random Variables And A Sovereign God, Lloyd Montzingo

ACMS Conference Proceedings 1981

This paper takes a brief look at the history of conflict between the concepts of chance and divine activity. After reviewing some evidence for randomness in the universe, present philosophical and theological views from four different scientists on this subject are presented. The discussion concludes with some questions and observations concerning those questions.

A Response To Professor Poythress’S “Science As Allegory”, Paul Devries

ACMS Conference Proceedings 1981

This paper critiques some of the arguments given by Vern Sheridan Poythress in his paper, Science as Allegory, particularly about the claims that the universe is poetry and that science is poetry.

Probabilistic Ways Of Thinking, Garnet Hauger

ACMS Conference Proceedings 1981

Events of the tiniest probabilities occur every day, and yet we tend to think of these events as unusual and even miraculous. So what should be a Christian's response to such events? Beginning with some simple concepts of probability, this paper examines the role that chance plays in our lives.

The Development Of Algebraic Structures During The Nineteenth Century, Richard Stout

ACMS Conference Proceedings 1981

I remember entering the faculty lounge one day while I was in graduate school and hearing a logician chiding some of the algebraists in the room. He said, "Don't you fellows ever get tired of just plus and times?" His remark, said in jest, had more to it than he may have realized. The fact that there is structure to algebra, represented by plus and times, was a vital discovery in the nineteenth century. It would lead algebra away from a reliance on numbers to a much more formal approach, one in which many different types of algebraic structures could …

A Reaction To The Poythress Paper, Paul J. Zwier

ACMS Conference Proceedings 1981

This paper reacts to the metaphor of Vern Sheridan Poythress’s papers, Science as Allegory, exploring what makes a good metaphor and the quality of argument it produces.

Teaching Mathematics Distinctively, Paul J. Zwier

ACMS Conference Proceedings 1981

By examining previously used education models, Paul Zwier how he developed his current methods of teaching mathematically distinctively.

An Integration Of Integrations Of Christianity And Mathematics—A Response To Harold Heie, Gene B. Chase

ACMS Conference Proceedings 1981

There are three general approaches taken to integrate Christianity and Mathematics: the applicational, the incarnation, and the philosophical. This paper discusses these views and responds to the approaches of Harold Heie.

Reality And Imagination In Mathematics And Religion, Dave Neuhouser

ACMS Conference Proceedings 1981

What does either reality or imagination have to do with mathematics? What does either reality or imagination have to do with religion? The thesis of this paper is that mathematics and religion, both, should be closely related to reality and that imagination is essential in both areas. In fact, imagination is essential in our attempts to understand reality.

On App Decoding, Carlos R.P. Hartmann, Luther D. Rudolph, Kishan Mehrotra, Guy J. Snedeker

Electrical Engineering and Computer Science - Technical Reports

In this paper we show that APP decoding for a linear code C is optimum not for C, but for a minimum-distance-2 code which contains C as a subcode when the codewords of are transmitted with equal probability. However, APP decoding is shown to be a symptotically optimum for C for high SNR when C is a binary one-step orthogonolizable code with equiprobable codewords transmitted over the AWGN channel.

Multi-Scan Correlation To Separate Radar Tracks From False Alarms, R. I. Greenberg, R. E. Thurber, R. J. Prengaman

Computer Science: Faculty Publications and Other Works

An algorithm and computer software have been developed to filter out clutter in radar displays in order to clarify real tracks. Detections are generally declared valid when found to be part of a reasonable pattern of three or four detections in an eight scan history. The filtering process reduces the number of spurious reports by several orders of magnitude, providing significant improvement in distinguishing ships from waves and other sources of undesired radar reflections. The algorithm is being incorporated into radar system hardware in order to improve tracking of ships as signals are received. The method also shows promise for …

The Menu Formation In A Computerized Nutrition System, Kathleen Ann Kostrzewa

Masters Theses

The creation of a diet is a complex process which involves analysis of a number of critical variables. Due to present technology, computers can be used effectively in menu planning and recipe analysis.

The objective of this study is the utilization of the computer to test the major criteria which must be met in order to produce a diet which meets nutritional, cost, and acceptability requirements. In this thesis, the design and implementation of a computerized menu planning system known as the Nutritional Data Base System is presented.
