Mathematics in Sports: Examples for General Mathematics

The Mathematics Teacher, 1973
Teaching general mathematics can be a rewarding experience. One challenge is to find topics that are interesting to the students. Statistics, when introduced in relation to sports, provides such topics.

CIRCUMSCRIPTION AND GENERIC MATHEMATICAL OBJECTS

Fundamenta Informaticae, 1994
We investigate the possibility of using circumscription for characterizing the concept of a generic object in the context of a formalized mathematical theory. We show that conventional circumscriptive policies do not give the intuitively expected results for elementary geometry, and that there is a common explanation for this failure and the failure of

A mathematical programming generator

ACM SIGAPL APL Quote Quad, 1989
This paper describes a mathematical programming generator that interprets problem statements written in the algebraic notation found in journal articles and text-books and outputs statements in the MPS format used by IBM's MPSX mathematical programming system.

Mathematical Models of Generalized Diffusion

Physica Scripta, 2001
Summary: The authors discuss equations describing processes involving nonlinear and higher-order diffusion. They focus on a particular case \((u_t=2\lambda_2(uu_x)_x+\lambda_2u_{xxxx})\), which is put into analogy with the KdV equation. A balance of nonlinearity and higher-order diffusion enables the existence of self-similar solutions, describing ...

Let's Put the Mathematics in General Mathematics

The Mathematics Teacher, 1992
As larger numbers of teenagers entered high school early in this century, many of these students were judged not able or willing to take traditional academic mathematics. Thus, a new course was introduced to reinforce the basic-arithmetic skills of this group of students.

Mathematics as an artistic-generative principle

SIGGRAPH 89 Art show catalog - Computer art in context on - SIGGRAPH '89, 1989
The author defines a mathematical discipline that is devoted to the generation of artistic images. The practical implementation of the underlying theory is possible today with the aid of computer graphics systems.

Mathematical Modelling of Generalization

2002
This paper surveys certain developments in the use of probabilistic techniques for the modelling of generalization. Some of the main methods and key results are discussed. Many details are omitted, the aim being to give a high-level overview of the types of approaches taken and methods used.
