Maillet's Determinant [PDF]

open access: yesProceedings of the American Mathematical Society, 1955
Es sei \(p\) eine ungerade Primzahl, für ein zu \(p\) primes \(r\) sei \(R(r)\equiv r \pmod p\) mit \(0 < R (r) < p\), und nach Maillet \(D_p = \vert R(r s')\vert\), \(1\le r, s \le (p-1)/2\), wobei \(ss'\equiv 1\pmod p\) ist. Maillet fragte, ob \(D_p\ne 0\) für alle \(p\) sei. Verff.

Nonconservation of Energy and Loss of Determinism. II. Colliding with an open set. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
An actual infinity of colliding balls can be in a configuration in which the laws of mechanics lead to logical inconsistency. It is argued that one should therefore limit the domain of these laws to a finite, or only a potentially infinite number of ...

Two Dogmas of Biology

open access: yesPhilosophy, Theory, and Practice in Biology, 2017
The problem with reductionism in biology is not the reduction, but the implicit attitude of determinism that usually accompanies it. Methodological reductionism is supported by deterministic beliefs, but making such a connection is problematic when it is
