Jesus, Plato, Math And Theology: What Is Truth?, Paul Moffett
Jesus, Plato, Math And Theology: What Is Truth?, Paul Moffett
ACMS Conference Proceedings 2005
Mathematical ontology is relevant to Christians because so much of Christian theology has been historically shaped by Platonic mathematics and the ontology that goes with it. The various contributors to Mathematics in a Postmodern Age, edited by Howell and Bradley, seem to assume that Christians are necessarily realists in ontology, and they are not alone. But what is the cause of this Christian connection with mathematical realism in ontology? How much has our idea of God been shaped by Plato and his mathematics?
The Artificial Gravity Pitch, Andrew Simoson
The Artificial Gravity Pitch, Andrew Simoson
ACMS Conference Proceedings 2005
Toss a ball into the air; we analyze and contrast the resultant trajectories when standing both on the Little Prince’s Asteroid B-612 of 1943 and in Arthur C. Clark’s rotating space ship Discovery of 2001.
Integrating Catholic And Marianist Historical Perspectives In A Mathematics Coruse For Elementary Education Majors, Mary Wagner-Krankel
Integrating Catholic And Marianist Historical Perspectives In A Mathematics Coruse For Elementary Education Majors, Mary Wagner-Krankel
ACMS Conference Proceedings 2005
St. Mary's University in San Antonio recently reaffirmed their distinctive nature as a Catholic university promoting the Marianist tradition. This new affirmation is in response to the smaller number of Marianists serving in teaching and administrative positions on campus. Faculty have been encouraged to explore new ways to integrate Catholic and Marianist values and historical perspectives in their teaching and research. I will discuss some major Catholic mathematicians and some classroom activities that I developed for the course MT3304- Mathematics for the Elementary Teacher.

Integration Of Faith, Learning, And Christian Vocation With First-Year Mathematics Majors, Doug Phillippy, Angela Hare
Integration Of Faith, Learning, And Christian Vocation With First-Year Mathematics Majors, Doug Phillippy, Angela Hare
ACMS Conference Proceedings 2005
The mission of Messiah College is "to educate men and women toward maturity of intellect, character, and Christian faith, in preparation for lives of service, leadership and reconciliation in church and society". Therefore, as faculty in the Mathematical Sciences Department at this college, how we build maturity in our students, not only a mature mathematical intellect, but also maturity of character and Christian faith, reflects our commitment to the mission of the College. Further, our departmental mission statement includes the objective "to challenge students to live out their faith in their vocation as they become servant leaders in society, church, …
James Clerk Maxwell And Why Read Biographies, Sean Bird
James Clerk Maxwell And Why Read Biographies, Sean Bird
ACMS Conference Proceedings 2005
Why do we read about the lives of others? This paper discusses the value of reading biographies and examines the life of physicist-mathematician James Clerk Maxwell.
Writing Math Lessons That Integrate Christian Beliefs: The Kuyers Institute Grant Project, Dave Klanderman, Gary Talsma
Writing Math Lessons That Integrate Christian Beliefs: The Kuyers Institute Grant Project, Dave Klanderman, Gary Talsma
ACMS Conference Proceedings 2005
In this paper, we describe multiple math lessons designed to incorporate a Christian perspective. A total of nine lessons, some with materials for multiple class sessions, will soon be published by the Kuyers Institute. These lessons are appropriate for use at the middle school and high school level.
Explicit Null Space Of Discrete Laplacian, Hanna Vanderzee
Explicit Null Space Of Discrete Laplacian, Hanna Vanderzee
ACMS Conference Proceedings 2005
For a given partial differential equation, such as Poisson’s equation in two dimensions, stipulating the null-space component of the solution is sometimes a useful alternative to specifying boundary conditions in order to determine a unique solution. To implement this approach computationally, we need a sparse and well-conditioned representation of the null space of the relevant differential operator. We discuss how the null-space method works and present an explicit formula for generating a sparse null basis for a uniform, finite-difference discretization of Laplacian operator on the unit square. The formula makes use of a triangular array which has the large Schroeder …
Artificial Intelligence: Can We Create Machines In Our Own Image?, Derek C. Shuurman
Artificial Intelligence: Can We Create Machines In Our Own Image?, Derek C. Shuurman
ACMS Conference Proceedings 2005
The field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) leads to many questions about what it means to be human. Some researchers claim that inevitably computers will reach a certain threshold of complexity that will enable them to “think” and artificial consciousness will emerge. This speculation, taken a step further, leads some to believe that computer technology will eventually set humans free from the frailty of their bodies and enable them to achieve immortality. Underlying these claims is a reductionistic philosophy about what it means to be human and how one approaches the mind-body problem. Ever since the fall people have wanted to …
A Christian Constructivist? The Impact Of Worldview On Learning Theories And The Mathematics Education Research Community, Jeffrey Barrett, Dave Klanderman
A Christian Constructivist? The Impact Of Worldview On Learning Theories And The Mathematics Education Research Community, Jeffrey Barrett, Dave Klanderman
ACMS Conference Proceedings 2005
This paper analyzes the role of worldview and its impact on learning theories within the mathematics education research community. The authors propose a scholarly agenda for engaging this issue in future research projects.
Asserting Cs != Can't Spcialize, Building Community In A Computer Science Program, Kim Kihlstrom
Asserting Cs != Can't Spcialize, Building Community In A Computer Science Program, Kim Kihlstrom
ACMS Conference Proceedings 2005
As humans, we are designed to live in community. "Just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, so in Christ we who are many form one body, and each member belongs to all the others" (Romans 12:4-5). We believe it is of critical importance to build community within a computer science program, first of all because it is part of God's calling for us. In addition, building communit allows us to equip students with the interpersonal skills that they need for a productive career, and to attract …
Filtering The Bible And Filtering Spam, Gene B. Chase
Filtering The Bible And Filtering Spam, Gene B. Chase
ACMS Conference Proceedings 2005
I argue that John Craig (1996?–1731) is the first to do Bayesian statistics. Filtering email spam today using Bayes's analysis of 1763 is a new application of an old theorem. Craig 67 years before Bayes's theorem used subjective probabilities reasoning to argue that Jesus would return in the year 3150, because the Bible would eventually come into disrepute (become spam?) then.
Bibliography Of Christianity And Mathematics, Gene B. Chase
Bibliography Of Christianity And Mathematics, Gene B. Chase
ACMS Conference Proceedings 2005
The invited address provides historiographic background for the second edition of Bibliography of Christianity and Mathematics. The second edition builds on the first edition written jointly with Calvin Jongsma, on the historiographic work of Ivor Grattan-Guiness, and on the computer skills of Gregory Ross.

"Got Rocks?" An Inquiry-Based Geology Program For 3rd To 5th Grades In Conjunction With The Museum Of Science, Jennifer D. Todd
"Got Rocks?" An Inquiry-Based Geology Program For 3rd To 5th Grades In Conjunction With The Museum Of Science, Jennifer D. Todd
Critical and Creative Thinking Capstones Collection
How can the Boston Museum of Science be of help to classroom teachers when planning a field trip? The synthesis presents a set of lesson plans for 3rd to 5th grade science teachers in the Boston area, with an ultimate goal of promoting students’ critical and creative thinking in their classroom units on rocks and minerals. The program was designed especially for those in the New England area because these states are within proximity to take a field trip to the Boston Museum of Science. The institution has many rocks and mineral samples from around the world and in the …
