The Social Relevance of Numbers: Insights from Animal Studies

open access: yesLife
Number processing offers significant adaptive advantages, enabling animals to navigate their environment and maximize survival outcomes. Extensive evidence across species demonstrates that numerical cognition is a ubiquitous cognitive trait that enhances

Upper Bounds for the Betti Numbers of a given Hilbert Function

open access: yes, 1992
From a Macaulay's paper it follows that a lex-segment ideal has the greatest number of generators (the 0-th Betti number $\b_0$) among all the homogeneous ideals with the same Hilbert function. In this paper we prove that this fact extends to every Betti

The Relationship Between Children’s Approximate Number Certainty and Symbolic Mathematics

open access: yesJournal of Numerical Cognition, 2020
Why do some children excel in mathematics while others struggle? A large body of work has shown positive correlations between children’s Approximate Number System (ANS) and school-taught symbolic mathematical skills, but the mechanism explaining this ...

Improvement on the decay of crossing numbers

open access: yes, 2012
We prove that the crossing number of a graph decays in a continuous fashion in the following sense. For any epsilon>0 there is a delta>0 such that for a sufficiently large n, every graph G with n vertices and m > n^{1+epsilon} edges, has a subgraph G' of

Comparing Numerical Comparison Tasks: A Meta-Analysis of the Variability of the Weber Fraction Relative to the Generation Algorithm

open access: yesFrontiers in Psychology, 2018
Since more than 15 years, researchers have been expressing their interest in evaluating the Approximate Number System (ANS) and its potential influence on cognitive skills involving number processing, such as arithmetic.

The Influence of Socioeconomic Factors on the Development of Early Number Concepts [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Why are some children entering school unable to count, while others are able to do simple addition? It may be that early experiences, like practice with numbers and extra resources to promote logical thinking, lay the foundation for how children and ...

ShotgunWSD: An unsupervised algorithm for global word sense disambiguation inspired by DNA sequencing

open access: yes, 2017
In this paper, we present a novel unsupervised algorithm for word sense disambiguation (WSD) at the document level. Our algorithm is inspired by a widely-used approach in the field of genetics for whole genome sequencing, known as the Shotgun sequencing ...

Using Excel to Develop Random Number Sense

open access: yesSpreadsheets in Education, 2013
People have difficulty creating and recognizing random sequences, but can become better at these tasks through practice and feedback. This paper describes how simulations produced with Excel can be used to visually display a sequence of random events ...

The Number Sense and the Language Instinct: Relating Syntax and Arithmetic in Human Cognition

open access: yesBiolinguistics
The idea that mathematical ability and language are related in human cognition is an old one. It is commonly assumed in the philosophical tradition, in psychology and in cognitive science, generally implying that knowledge of numbers is indebted to ...
