Ground and Explanation in Mathematics
volume 19, no. 33 ncreased attention has recently been paid to the fact that in math- august 2019 ematical practice, certain mathematical proofs but not others are I recognized as explaining why the theorems they prove obtain (Mancosu 2008; Lange 2010, 2015a, 2016; Pincock 2015). Such “math- ematical explanation” is presumably not a variety of causal explana- tion. In addition, the role of metaphysical grounding as underwriting a variety of explanations has also recently received increased attention Ground and Explanation (Correia and Schnieder 2012; Fine 2001, 2012; Rosen 2010; Schaffer 2016). Accordingly, it is natural to wonder whether mathematical ex- planation is a variety of grounding explanation. This paper will offer several arguments that it is not. in Mathematics One obstacle facing these arguments is that there is currently no widely accepted account of either mathematical explanation or grounding. In the case of mathematical explanation, I will try to avoid this obstacle by appealing to examples of proofs that mathematicians themselves have characterized as explanatory (or as non-explanatory). I will offer many examples to avoid making my argument too dependent on any single one of them. I will also try to motivate these characterizations of various proofs as (non-) explanatory by proposing an account of what makes a proof explanatory. In the case of grounding, I will try to stick with features of grounding that are relatively uncontroversial among grounding theorists. But I will also Marc Lange look briefly at how some of my arguments would fare under alternative views of grounding. I hope at least to reveal something about what University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill grounding would have to look like in order for a theorem’s grounds to mathematically explain why that theorem obtains.

8Ratio and Percentages
8 Ratio and percentages 1 Ratio A ratio is a comparison of two numbers. We generally separate the two numbers in the ratio with a colon (:) or as a fraction. Suppose we want to write the ratio of 8 and 12. We can write this as 8:12 or as 8/12, and we say the ratio is eight to twelve . Examples: Janet has a bag with 4 pens, 3 sweets, 7 books, and 2 sandwiches. 1. What is the ratio of books to pens? Expressed as a fraction, the answer would be 7/4. Two other ways of writing the ratio are 7 to 4, and 7:4. 2. What is the ratio of sweets to the total number of items in the bag? There are 3 candies, and 4 + 3 + 7 + 2 = 16 items total. The answer can be expressed as 3/16, 3 to 16, or 3:16. 2 Comparing Ratios To compare ratios, write them as fractions. The ratios are equal if they are equal when written as fractions. We can find ratios equivalent to other ratios by multiplying/ dividing both sides by the same number. Example: Are the ratios 2 to 7 and 4:14 equal? The ratios are equal because 2/7 = 4/14. The process of finding the simplest form of a ratio is the same as the process of finding the simplest form of a fraction. 1 : 3.5 or 2 : 7 could be given as more simple forms of the ratio 4 : 14. 1 I.E.S. “Andrés de Vandelvira” Sección Europea Mathematics Exercise 1 Simplify the following ratios: 3:6 25:50 40:100 9:21 11:121 For some purposes the best is to reduce the numbers to the form 1 : n or n : 1 by dividing both numbers by either the left hand side or the right-hand side number.

REU 2007 · Transfinite Combinatorics · Lecture 1
REU 2007 · Transfinite Combinatorics · Lecture 1 Instructor: LászlóBabai Scribe: Damir Dzhafarov July 23, 2007. Partially revised by instructor. Last updated July 26, 12:00 AM 1.1 Transfinite Combinatorics and Toy Problems Lamp and switches. Imagine a lamp which is always on, and which assumes one of three different colors. The particular color of the lamp at a given time is completely determined by the configuration, at that time, of a row of three-way switches (i.e., switches that can each occupy one of three different states). If there are n switches, any such configuration can be represented by an n-tuple (x1, . , xn), where xi ∈ {0, 1, 2} for all i, that is, by an element of {0, 1, 2}n. If we let the set of possible colors of the lamp be {0, 1, 2}, we can thus regard the lamp’s color as a function of the configurations of the switches, i.e., as a function f : {0, 1, 2}n → {0, 1, 2}. The system of the lamp and switches is subject to a single rule, that if the position of each switch be changed, the color of the lamp changes as well. In other words, if (x1, . , xn) 0 0 0 and (x1, . , xn) are configurations of switches with xi 6= xi for all i, then f(x1, . , xn) 6= 0 0 f(x1, . , xn). Exercise 1.1.1. Prove that if there are only finitely many switches, then there must exist a dictator switch, meaning one which makes all other switches redundant in that all of its positions induce different colors of the lamp, and each of its positions always induces the same color, regardless of the configuration of the other switches.

Hexagon Fractions
Hexagon Fractions A hexagon can be divided up into several equal, different-sized parts. For example, if we draw a line across the center, like this: We have separated the hexagon into two equal-sized parts. Each one is one-half of the hexagon. We could draw the lines differently: Here we have separated the hexagon into three equal-sized parts. Each one of these is one-third of the hexagon. 1 Another way of separating the hexagon into equal-sized parts looks like this: There are six equal-sized parts here, so each one is one-sixth of the hexagon. Each of these shapes has a special name. The shape that is one- half of the hexagon is called a trapezoid: The one that is one-third of the hexagon is a rhombus: 2 and the one that is one-sixth of the hexagon is a … Yes, a triangle! You knew that one, for sure. We can use these shapes to get an understanding of how fractions are added and subtracted. Remember that the numerator of a fraction is just a regular number. The denominator of a fraction is more than just a number, it is sort of a “thing,” like apple, dog, or flower. But it is a “numerical thing” and has a name. We should think of “half” or “third” or “tenth” or whatever as a name, just like “apple” or “dog” or “flower” is the name of something. The numerator in a fraction tells us how many of the denominators we have. For example, because the rhombus is one-third of a hexagon, we can think of the fraction “one-third” as “one rhombus.” For a hexagon, “third” and “rhombus” are two names for the same thing.
