The syllabus usually includes Shakespeare's sonnets, Donne, Keats, Dickinson, Frost, Eliot, Marianne Moore, Lowell, Rich, and Bishop. Problems of Philosophy (HASS-D, Category 2, 12 units) Lee Perlman Time: tba This subject will familiarize you with some of the historically most important topics of philosophical concern, give you the opportunity to enter into some actual living philosophical contexts, and unsettle some of your assumptions about the way you and the world work. It will also expose you to some of the intellectual dilemmas that underlie many things we take for granted. All of the problems we consider in this subject touch on the question of whether the inner lives of humans are something significantly different from the events of the outer (or material/physical) world. We will keep coming back to the underlying problem of whether or not human matters are explicable in terms that have proved useful in explaining the physical world.

Cantor’s set theory provided a language to express this. At least five mathematicians tried to prove denumerability of the value set, to which the names of two of them are attached.

Rowe (editors), The history of modern mathematics iii: images, ideas and communities , Academic Press 1994, 139-153 In 1841 Weierstrass proved the existence of the Laurent expansion for functions on an annulus, using complex integration in a decisive way, independently of Laurent and at most indirectly influenced by Cauchy. But he published it only over 50 years later Ullrich, Peter, ‘The Riemann mapping problem’

History of Mathematics Links A lthough my field of study is technically anthropology, this is merely a disciplinary convenience. My current research (for which I hope and pray that I will some day receive a Ph.D.) is in the field of the history of mathematics. Specifically, I am conducting a cross-cultural comparison of written numeral systems as used throughout history. One day, I may have some useful and original contributions of my own to put on the Web. For now, I'll have to be satisfied with directing you to the many highly useful sites already in existence that contain material relevant to my area of specialty.

Mathematics Ancient Science and Its Modern Fates Until recently, historians of the Scientific Revolution of the 16th and 17th centuries treated it as a kind of rebellion against the authority of ancient books and humanist scholarship. In fact, however, it began with the revival of several tremendously important and formidably difficult works of Greek science. Scholarship supported science in this world where faith and science were not yet seen as two, irreconcilable cultures. The three ancient doors to the next rooms all have signs written on them in Greek and Latin. Luckily for you we created modern metal plates with the translations, next to the doors.

Problems Pi (noun) ... plural = pis. Mathematics. A transcendental number, approximately 3.14159, represented by the symbol , that expresses the ratio of the circumference to the diameter of a circle and appears as a constant in many mathematical expressions. The 16th letter of the Greek alphabet. : BEYOND INFINITY Deep in the nature of man is the will to go further than any human has ever been before. This quest is symbolized by the Greek letter , which evokes infinity. Humans are still in pursuit of the end of its innumerable string of decimals... No number (3.14...) has captured the attention and imagination of number fanatics and nerds throughout the ages as much as the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter - a.k.a. Pi. With incisive historical insight and a refreshing sense of humor, this page brings us the story of Pi and humankind's fascination with it, from Archimedes to da Vinci to the modern day Chudnovsky brothers, who holed up in their Manhattan apartment with a homemade supercomputer churning out digits of pi into the billions.

88. History Of Mathematics Home Page mathematics written in ancient greek was translated into Arabic. Aboutthe same time some mathematics of India was translated into Arabic. http://aleph0.clarku.edu/~djoyce/mathhist/mathhist.html

Every culture on earth has developed some mathematics. In some cases, this mathematics has spread from one culture to another. Now there is one predominant international mathematics, and this mathematics has quite a history. It has roots in ancient Egypt and Babylonia, then grew rapidly in ancient Greece. Mathematics written in ancient Greek was translated into Arabic. About the same time some mathematics of India was translated into Arabic. Later some of this mathematics was translated into Latin and became the mathematics of Western Europe. Over a period of several hundred years, it became the mathematics of the world. There are other places in the world that developed significant mathematics, such as China, southern India, and Japan, and they are interesting to study, but the mathematics of the other regions have not had much influence on current international mathematics. There is, of course, much mathematics being done these and other regions, but it is not the traditional math of the regions, but international mathematics. By far, the most significant development in mathematics was giving it firm logical foundations. This took place in ancient Greece in the centuries preceding Euclid. See
