Accelerating Expansion: Philosophy and Physics with a Positive Cosmological Constant - Hardcover

$143.64

by Gordon Belot (Author)Accelerating Expansion explores some of the philosophical implications of modern cosmology, focused on the significance that the discovery of the accelerating expansion of the Universe has for our understanding of time, geometry, and physics. The appearance of the cosmological constant in the equations of general relativity allows one to model universes in which space has an inherent tendency towards expansion. This constant, introduced by Einstein but subsequently aba...

Crossroads in History of Mathematics and Mathematics Education - Paperback

$102.51

by Bharath Sriraman (Editor)The interaction of the history of mathematics and mathematics education has long been construed as an esoteric area of inquiry.

However there is little systematization or consolidation of the existing literature aimed at undergraduate mathematics education, particularly in the teaching and learning of the history of mathematics and other undergradua...

$46.08

by Craig Smorynski (Author)Mathematics originates with intuition. But intuition alone can only go so far and formalism develops to handle the more difficult problems. Formalism, however, has its inherent dangers. There are three types of formalism. Type I formalism, exemplified in the work of Euler, is basically heuristic reasoning, the use of familiar reasoning in areas where the reasoning might not or ought not apply. The results include startling successes, and also theorems admitting exce...

Because Without Cause: Non-Casual Explanations in Science and Mathematics - Paperback

$99.18

by Marc Lange (Author)Not all scientific explanations work by describing causal connections between events or the world's overall causal structure. Some mathematical proofs explain why the theorems being proved hold. In this book, Marc Lange proposes philosophical accounts of many kinds of non-causal explanations in science and mathematics. These topics have been unjustly neglected in the philosophy of science and mathematics. One important kind of non-causal scientific explanation is termed ...

The Foundations of Modality: From Propositions to Possible Worlds - Hardcover

$143.64

by Peter Fritz (Author)The notions of necessity and possibility, as well as the notion of a possible world, are ubiquitous in philosophy. Nevertheless, these notions remain controversial. It also remains controversial whether metaphysics requires notions drawing distinctions which are finer than those which can be drawn in terms of necessity and possibility, such as the recently much-discussed notion of grounding. In order to make progress on these debates, this book develops a general framew...
