The ontology, rational psychology, cosmology, yes even natural theology, of former times−where is now to be heard any mention of them, or who would venture to mention them? Inquiries, for instance, into the immateriality of the soul, into efficient and final causes, where should these still arouse any interest?

However, it is vital that pupils are taught according to the pathway that they are currently working at and are showing to have ‘mastered’ a pathway before moving on to the next one. Of course, pupils who are showing to be secure in a skill can be challenged to the next pathway as necessary. • Choosing a calculation method: Before pupils opt for a written method they should first consider these steps: Should I use a formal Can I do it in my Could I use

  • Logical Foundations: Personal Perspective
    LOGICAL FOUNDATIONS: PERSONAL PERSPECTIVE YURI GUREVICH Abstract. This is an attempt to illustrate the glorious history of logical foundations and to discuss the uncertain future. Apologia1. I dread this scenario. The deadline is close. A reminder from the Chief Editor arrives. I forward it to the guest author and find out that they had a difficult real-world problem, and the scheduled article is not ready. I am full of sympathy. But the result is all the same: the article is not there. That happened once before in the long history of this column, in 2016. Then the jubilee of the 1966 Congress of Mathematicians gave me an excuse for a micro-memoir on the subject. This time around I decided to repurpose a recent talk of mine [2]. But a talk, especially one with ample time for a subsequent discussion, is much different from a paper. It would normally take me months to turn the talk into a paper. Quick repurposing is necessarily imperfect, to say the least. Hence this apologia. 1. Prelude What should logic study? Of course logic should study deductive rea- soning where the conclusions are true whenever the premises are true. But what other kinds of reasoning and argumentation should logic study? Ex- perts disagree about that. Typically it is required that reasoning be correct arXiv:2103.03930v1 [cs.LO] 5 Mar 2021 in some objective sense, so that, for example, demagoguery is not a subject of logic. My view of logic is more expansive. Logic should study argumentation of any kind, whether it is directed to a narrow circle of mathematicians, the twelve members of a jury, your family, your government, the voters of your country, the whole humanity.

  • An Arbitrary Precision Computation Package David H
    ARPREC: An Arbitrary Precision Computation Package David H. Bailey, Yozo Hida, Xiaoye S. Li and Brandon Thompson1 Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, Berkeley, CA 94720 Draft Date: 2002-10-14 Abstract This paper describes a new software package for performing arithmetic with an arbitrarily high level of numeric precision. It is based on the earlier MPFUN package [2], enhanced with special IEEE floating-point numerical techniques and several new functions. This package is written in C++ code for high performance and broad portability and includes both C++ and Fortran-90 translation modules, so that conventional C++ and Fortran-90 programs can utilize the package with only very minor changes. This paper includes a survey of some of the interesting applications of this package and its predecessors. 1. Introduction For a small but growing sector of the scientific computing world, the 64-bit and 80-bit IEEE floating-point arithmetic formats currently provided in most computer systems are not sufficient. As a single example, the field of climate modeling has been plagued with non-reproducibility, in that climate simulation programs give different results on different computer systems (or even on different numbers of processors), making it very difficult to diagnose bugs. Researchers in the climate modeling community have assumed that this non-reproducibility was an inevitable conse- quence of the chaotic nature of climate simulations. Recently, however, it has been demonstrated that for at least one of the widely used climate modeling programs, much of this variability is due to numerical inaccuracy in a certain inner loop. When some double-double arithmetic rou- tines, developed by the present authors, were incorporated into this program, almost all of this variability disappeared [12].

  • Neural Correlates of Arithmetic Calculation Strategies
    Cognitive, Affective, & Behavioral Neuroscience 2009, 9 (3), 270-285 doi:10.3758/CABN.9.3.270 Neural correlates of arithmetic calculation strategies MIRIA M ROSENBERG -LEE Stanford University, Palo Alto, California AND MARSHA C. LOVETT AND JOHN R. ANDERSON Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania Recent research into math cognition has identified areas of the brain that are involved in number processing (Dehaene, Piazza, Pinel, & Cohen, 2003) and complex problem solving (Anderson, 2007). Much of this research assumes that participants use a single strategy; yet, behavioral research finds that people use a variety of strate- gies (LeFevre et al., 1996; Siegler, 1987; Siegler & Lemaire, 1997). In the present study, we examined cortical activation as a function of two different calculation strategies for mentally solving multidigit multiplication problems. The school strategy, equivalent to long multiplication, involves working from right to left. The expert strategy, used by “lightning” mental calculators (Staszewski, 1988), proceeds from left to right. The two strate- gies require essentially the same calculations, but have different working memory demands (the school strategy incurs greater demands). The school strategy produced significantly greater early activity in areas involved in attentional aspects of number processing (posterior superior parietal lobule, PSPL) and mental representation (posterior parietal cortex, PPC), but not in a numerical magnitude area (horizontal intraparietal sulcus, HIPS) or a semantic memory retrieval area (lateral inferior prefrontal cortex, LIPFC). An ACT–R model of the task successfully predicted BOLD responses in PPC and LIPFC, as well as in PSPL and HIPS. A central feature of human cognition is the ability to strategy use) and theoretical (parceling out the effects of perform complex tasks that go beyond direct stimulus– strategy-specific activity).

    Ball Green Primary School Maths Calculation Policy 2018-2019 Contents Page Contents Page Rationale 1 How do I use this calculation policy? 2 Early Years Foundation Stage 3 Year 1 5 Year 2 8 Year 3 11 Year 4 14 Year 5 17 Year 6 20 Useful links 23 1 Maths Calculation Policy 2018– 2019 Rationale: This policy is intended to demonstrate how we teach different forms of calculation at Ball Green Primary School. It is organised by year groups and designed to ensure progression for each operation in order to ensure smooth transition from one year group to the next. It also includes an overview of mental strategies required for each year group [Year 1-Year 6]. Mathematical understanding is developed through use of representations that are first of all concrete (e.g. base ten, apparatus), then pictorial (e.g. array, place value counters) to then facilitate abstract working (e.g. columnar addition, long multiplication). It is important that conceptual understanding, supported by the use of representation, is secure for procedures and if at any point a pupil is struggling with a procedure, they should revert to concrete and/or pictorial resources and representations to solidify understanding or revisit the previous year’s strategy. This policy is designed to help teachers and staff members at our school ensure that calculation is taught consistently across the school and to aid them in helping children who may need extra support or challenges. This policy is also designed to help parents, carers and other family members support children’s learning by letting them know the expectations for their child’s year group and by providing an explanation of the methods used in our school.

  • German Idealism, Classical Pragmatism, and Kant's Third Critique
    1 German Idealism, Classical Pragmatism, and Kant's Third Critique Sebastian Gardner German Idealism and Classical Pragmatism share Kantian origins. An obvious way in which one may seek to characterize their differences is in terms of Kant's distinction of the constitutive and regulative. Classical Pragmatism, it is plausible to suggest, retains the Kantian regulative and either drops the constitutive or subordinates it to the regulative, while German Idealism holds fast to the constitutive, massively enlarging its scope and absorbing into it (among other things) all of Kant's 'merely' regulative structure; whence the metaphysicality of German Idealism and the post- metaphysicality, or tendency thereto, of Classical Pragmatism. Matters are of course not quite so simple – in a moment I will point out some complications – but this construal of the historical narrative has explanatory value and textual foundations. It is not hard to see that engagement with Kant's concept of the regulative is virtually unavoidable for any post-Kantian development that seeks, as do German Idealism and Classical Pragmatism, to overhaul Kant's meta-philosophical position: if a less equivocal view of our knowledge situation than Kant's is to be arrived at, then the notion of a 'merely regulative' employment of ideas, sharply disjoined from a constitutive employment of concepts, will need to be revisited and continuity restored in one way or another. Thus, in so far as Kant is regarded not only as providing resources for each development but also, in addition, as himself failing to settle the problems that arise for his dual status account of the principles of cognition and so as leaving a tension that stands in need of resolution, the double derivation of two such different standpoints from a single source is rendered historically intelligible.

  • Mathematics Calculation Strategies
    Mathematics Calculation Strategies A guide to mental and written calculations and other useful strategies we use in our school. ‘To inspire and educate for life’ Introduction Introduction This booklet explains how children are taught to carry out written calculations for each of the four number operations (addition / subtraction / multiplication / division). In order to help develop your child’s mathematical understanding, each operation is taught according to a clear progression of stages. Generally, children begin by learning how written methods can be used to support mental calculations. They then move on to learn how to carry out and present calculations horizontally. After this, they start to use vertical methods, first in a longer format and eventually in a more compact format (standard written methods). However, we must remember that standard written methods do not make you think about the whole number involved and don’t support the development of mental strategies. They also make each operation look different and unconnected. Therefore, children will only move onto a vertical format when they can identify if their answer is reasonable and if they can make use of related number facts. (Advice provided by Hampshire Mathematics Inspector). It is extremely important to go through each of these stages in developing calculation strategies. We are aware that children can easily be taught the procedure to work through for a compact written method. However, unless they have worked through all the stages they will only be repeating the

  • Introduction
    Introduction Hegel and Capitalism Andrew Buchwalter Hegel and the Contemporary Discourse on Capitalism Capitalism, whose historical triumph was for many confirmed with the col- lapse of the Soviet Union, has in recent years become a topic of significant public consideration. The 2008 financial crisis, declining growth rates, eco- nomic stagnation, prolonged unemployment, mounting income inequality, decreasing social mobility, growing personal and public indebtedness, an ongoing housing crisis, the commercialization of more spheres of life, the increasing monetarization of social relations, environmental degradation stemming from industrial production, and a globalization process fueled by multinational corporations operating relatively free from public account- ability, have all contributed to growing concerns about the nature, stability, and even legitimacy of Western market economies. In addition, economic globalization has triggered in advanced industrial societies a predilection for austerity measures that, coupled with persistent neoliberal challenges to welfare state policies, have called into question common assumptions about the shape and trajectory of capitalism in postwar societies. Accompanying these developments has been the proliferation of aca- demic studies devoted to capitalist economies. In recent years such writ- ers as Luc Boltanski and Ève Chiapello, James Galbraith, David Harvey, Thomas Piketty, Debra Satz, Wolfgang Streeck, and Joseph Stiglitz, to name just a few, have authored works that in differing ways address the state of 1 © 2015 State University of New York Press, Albany 2 Andrew Buchwalter contemporary market economies. In addition, historians in growing num- bers have made capitalism a central category of disciplinary inquiry. And there has been a renewed interest in theorists historically associated with the analysis of market economies, including writers so diverse as Adam Smith, Karl Marx, and Friedrich Hayek.
