1989
The primary object of Part I is to expound Keynes’s philosophy and to support the contention that it contains a distinctive theory of rationality. The next six chapters are therefore occupied with elucidating his philosophical framework and its main properties. Two other themes are also developed.

Covariational Reasoning – Theoretical Background
2021Covariational reasoning surfaced in the first chapters of the book, however, it needs more elaboration as it will dominate the case studies included in Part III. This chapter presents a current perspective on covariational reasoning and its fit to the proposed modeling discourse.

But this rejection of intellectual self-deception, of conceptual delusions, fabrications and empty fictions, is immediately followed by a plea on ...

Using meta-theoretic reasoning to do algebra
1980We report on an experiment in interactive reasoning with FOL. The subject of the reasoning is elementary algebra. The main point of the paper is to show how the use of meta-theoretic knowledge results in improving the quality of the resulting proofs in that, in this environment, they are both easier to find and easier to understand.

A Decision Theoretic Meta-reasoner for Constraint Optimization
2005Solving constraint optimization problems is hard because it is not enough to find the best solution; an algorithm does not know a candidate is the best solution until it has proven that there are no better solutions The proof can be long, compared to the time spent to find a good solution In the cases where there are resource bounds, the proof of ...
