Mathematical proof

In his book General Will 2.0, Hikori Azuma writes about his optimistic vision of the relationship between society and information. Azuma holds a strong belief that technology will accentuate political discourse and allow each individual to spread their ideas as far and wide as possible, creating an environment where an unconscious democracy can exist and reach its true potential. Azuma’s views however put too much faith in the individual and the cohesiveness of society. The ideas of General…

– without rationality all that is left is science fiction. In accordance with the quote by Chalmers and his assumption that inductivity leads to certainties, a common rebuttal that demonstrates said scrutiny is that induction itself is irrational (proof shown by Hume’s Problem of Induction). One attempt to salvage the rationality of the scientific method was by Karl R. Popper with the hypothetico-deductive method – a potential solution negating the need for induction.…

but they worked with him because he was so successful mathematically (People). Nash was also working with RAND, but he was fired because he was arrested for indecent exposure in Santa Monica (John Forbes). While at Princeton, everyone admired his mathematical skill, but his aggressive behavior made his colleagues leery of working with him (O’Connor). Shortly after Alicia became pregnant, New Year’s arrived and with it, the celebrations (O’Connor). There was one party in particular where Nash’s…

reality requires factors that are related to the reality and connected to each other. The relation between facts and consequences are forming the social reality and argumentation based on reality must be reasonable. It needs to attain the agreement of proofs and facts between the speaker and hearer. This technique of argumentation supposes that human act must be considered as reasonable and there has to be agreement for motives of actions. (Perelman & Olbrechts-Tyteca 1971:…

In the early 17th century names like Francois Viete and Bartholomeo Pitiscus were still ringing through the mathematical community’s ears. Viete had blown everyone away with his book Canon Mathematicus in 1579. The book contained a collection of trigonometric formulas and tables. Viete was also responsible for trisecting an angle and the construction of the regular pentagon. Bartholomeo Pitiscus had coined the term trigonometry in the title of his 1595 book, Trigonometria. This book was split…

Thales Thales was one of the traditional founders of philosophy. He held the belief that the arche of all is water; water is the core element of all the things that are present. He believed in God and in his writings through Aristotle, Thales portray that the reason why he stated water as the basic element of everything is because the nourishment of everything is moist. One ingredient (water) that is present in all foods might be a factor that contributes to this concept. As for the food that…
