Quantitative Algebraic Reasoning [PDF]
Proceedings of the 31st Annual ACM/IEEE Symposium on Logic in Computer Science, 2016 We develop a quantitative analogue of equational reasoning which we call quantitative algebra. We define an equality relation indexed by rationals: a = ϵ b which we think of as saying that "a is approximately equal to b up to an error of ϵ ". We have 4 interesting examples where we have a quantitative equational theory whose free algebras correspond to

Surveying the Landscape of Numbers in U.S. News
Numeracy, 2021 The news arguably serves to inform the quantitative reasoning (QR) of news audiences. Before one can contemplate how well the news serves this function, we first need to determine how much QR typical news stories require from readers. This paper assesses

Exploring the Relationship between Quantitative Reasoning Skills and News Habits
Numeracy, 2023 Because people are constantly confronted with numbers and mathematical concepts in the news, we have embarked on a project to create journalism that can support news users’ number skills.

Quantitative temporal reasoning [PDF]
Real-Time Systems, 1992 A substantially large class of programs operate in distributed and real-time environments, and an integral part of their correctness specification requires the expression of time-critical properties that relate the occurrence of events of the system. We focus on the formal specification and reasoning about the correctness of such programs. We propose a

Proportional reasoning as a threshold to numeracy at university: a framework for analysis [PDF]
, 2013 There is a generally acknowledged need for students to be quantitatively literate in an increasingly quantitative world. This includes the ability to reason critically about data in context.

Intuitive interference in quantitative reasoning [PDF]
Brain Research, 2006 It is well known that surface features of a task can queue multiple reasoning strategies. Interference or conflict among the strategies is signaled by increasing reaction times and error rates. To determine the neural basis of this interference, we studied 14 volunteers using event-related fMRI, as they compared the perimeters of geometrical shapes in ...

Applying Quantitative Reasoning to Clarify Arc Measurements
Georgia Educational Researcher, 2020 The importance of reasoning quantitatively is reflected in both mathematics education research and mathematical standards for K-12 students. In this article, we detail how a quantitative reasoning framework can be used to help differentiate two ...

Belief-Logic Conflict Resolution in Syllogistic Reasoning: Inspection-Time Evidence for a Parallel-Process Model [PDF]
, 2008 An experiment is reported examining dual-process models of belief bias in syllogistic reasoning using a problem complexity manipulation and an inspection-time method to monitor processing latencies for premises and conclusions.
