    Extractions: History of mathematics' didactic. This history is an illustration of the increased complexity of psychism's modeling. - During years 70 and 80, international congresses on mathematics' teaching were speaking only about "curricula" , i.e., in some way : courses planing and contents : Should such subject be taught before or after such other subject ? Must or must not such area be taught ? That is now known as transition from savant knowledge to taught knowledge. In this whole process the student did not exist. - Then came a didactic concerned by "epistemological obstacles" . That means people become aware that in the history of mathematics some subjects were more challenging for researchers than some others : the focus was still on mathematics per se, the students were always absent but history and time were introduced, in other words mankind. - Then the students appeared in didactics but only through their performances in problem solving . This was the time of statistical didactic; when, for the same problem, one was looking for the frequency of the different results, right or wrong.

87. Blaise Pascal (1623 - 1662)
    Excerpts from a mathematical biography by W. W. Rouse Ball.  
    http://www.maths.tcd.ie/pub/HistMath/People/Pascal/RouseBall/RB_Pascal.html
    
    Extractions: From `A Short Account of the History of Mathematics' (4th edition, 1908) by W. W. Rouse Ball. Among the contemporaries of Descartes none displayed greater natural genius than Pascal, but his mathematical reputation rests more on what he might have done than on what he actually effected, as during a considerable part of his life he deemed it his duty to devote his whole time to religious exercises. Blaise Pascal Elements , a book which Pascal read with avidity and soon mastered. In 1650, when in the midst of these researches, Pascal suddenly abandoned his favourite pursuits to study religion, or, as he says in his , ``contemplate the greatness and the misery of man''; and about the same time he persuaded the younger of his two sisters to enter the Port Royal society. His famous Provincial Letters directed against the Jesuits, and his , were written towards the close of his life, and are the first example of that finished form which is characteristic of the best French literature. The only mathematical work that he produced after retiring to Port Royal was the essay on the cycloid in 1658. He was suffering from sleeplessness and toothache when the idea occurred to him, and to his surprise his teeth immediately ceased to ache. Regarding this as a divine intimation to proceed with the problem, he worked incessantly for eight days at it, and completed a tolerably full account of the geometry of the cycloid. I now proceed to consider his mathematical works in rather greater detail.

    http://www.wkap.nl/prod/b/0-7923-6399-X
    
    Extractions: Most of the leading specialists in the field have contributed to this ground-breaking book, whose topics include the integration of history in the classroom, its value in the training of teachers, historical support for particular subjects and for students with diverse educational requirements, the use of original texts written by great mathematicians of the past, the epistemological backgrounds to choose for history, and non-standard media and other resources, from drama to the internet. Resulting from an international study on behalf of ICMI (the International Commission of Mathematics Instruction), the book draws upon evidence from the experience of teachers as well as national curricula, textbooks, teacher education practices, and research perspectives across the world. Together with its 300-item annotated bibliography of recent work in the field in eight languages, the book provides firm foundations for future developments.

92. Using History In Math Class

    Extractions: Using History in Math Class The purpose of this Web site is to encourage and facilitate the use of the history of mathematics in the teaching and learning of mathematics at all levels. Gerald L. Marshall marshall@math.ilstu.edu created it as a Ph.D. project under the guidance on his mentor Dr. Beverly S. Rich bsrich@math.ilstu.edu during the spring of 1999. Any questions or comments on this site should be addressed to them using the e-mail links above. Some of the most useful Internet sites on the history of mathematics that provide assistance for the inclusion of history in the mathematics classroom are identified, described, and hyperlinked via relevant URLs below. These sites have been tentatively divided into five broad categories. Some sites may fall in more than one category. However each site appears in what seemed to be the most relevant category. INSTRUCTIONAL Using history in mathematics classes helps to increase motivation for learning. This category includes sites that promote the use of history in mathdmatics classes, sites that provide examples where this concept has been applied, and sites that post bibliographies and additional links that allow for extended research. A teacher can find samples of classroom proved projects here. http://www.maa.org/news/ihmt99.html

    Extractions: Recreation is in the eye of the beholder, and not everything here was originally intended as recreational by its authors. Like many, I was inspired early on by Martin Gardner's Mathematical Games column, which included a mixture of puzzles, silliness, curious/useless math, and quite serious (but not overly technical) math. In that spirit, I list here some web resources for recreational math. My own recreational math pages: Other people's recreational math pages (and serious pages on topics of recreational interest not covered by the three pages above): John Baez's finds in mathematical physics Busy beaver The puzzling world of Barry R. Clarke

99. Indispensability Arguments In The Philosophy Of Mathematics
    From the fact that mathematics is indispensable to science, some philosophers have drawn serious metaphysical conclusions. In particular, Quine and Putnam have argued that the indispensability of mathematics to empirical science gives us good reason to believe in the existence of mathematical entities. From the Stanford Encyclopedia.  
    http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/mathphil-indis/
    
    Extractions: JUL One of the most intriguing features of mathematics is its applicability to empirical science. Every branch of science draws upon large and often diverse portions of mathematics, from the use of Hilbert spaces in quantum mechanics to the use of differential geometry in general relativity. It's not just the physical sciences that avail themselves of the services of mathematics either. Biology, for instance, makes extensive use of difference equations and statistics. The roles mathematics plays in these theories is also varied. Not only does mathematics help with empirical predictions, it allows elegant and economical statement of many theories. Indeed, so important is the language of mathematics to science, that it is hard to imagine how theories such as quantum mechanics and general relativity could even be stated without employing a substantial amount of mathematics. but this one is by far the most influential, and so in what follows I'll concentrate on it.
