PHIL 20020: PHILOSOPHY OF MATHEMATICS Second level unit, Second semester 2001-2002, 10 Credits Lecturer: John Mayberry (Department of Mathematics) Email: j.p.mayberry@bris.ac.uk Unit Instructor and Co-ordinator: Patrick Greenough (Room 1.26, Dept. of Philosophy) Email: Patrick.Greenough@bris.ac.uk, Office Tel: 0117 928 7609 WHAT IS THE PHILOSOPHY OF MATHEMATICS? Many philosophers have taken mathematics to be the paradigm of knowledge, and the reasoning employed in following mathematical proofs is often regarded as the epitome of rational thought. But mathematics is also a rich source of philosophical problems which have been at the centre of epistemology and metaphysics since the beginnings of Western philosophy; among the most important are the following: Do numbers and other mathematical entities exist independently of human cognition? If not then how do we explain the extraordinary applicability of mathematics to science and practical affairs? If so then what kind of things are they and how can we know about them? What is the relationship between mathematics and logic?

The syllabus usually includes Shakespeare's sonnets, Donne, Keats, Dickinson, Frost, Eliot, Marianne Moore, Lowell, Rich, and Bishop. Problems of Philosophy (HASS-D, Category 2, 12 units) Lee Perlman Time: tba This subject will familiarize you with some of the historically most important topics of philosophical concern, give you the opportunity to enter into some actual living philosophical contexts, and unsettle some of your assumptions about the way you and the world work. It will also expose you to some of the intellectual dilemmas that underlie many things we take for granted. All of the problems we consider in this subject touch on the question of whether the inner lives of humans are something significantly different from the events of the outer (or material/physical) world. We will keep coming back to the underlying problem of whether or not human matters are explicable in terms that have proved useful in explaining the physical world.

Mathematics Ancient Science and Its Modern Fates Until recently, historians of the Scientific Revolution of the 16th and 17th centuries treated it as a kind of rebellion against the authority of ancient books and humanist scholarship. In fact, however, it began with the revival of several tremendously important and formidably difficult works of Greek science. Scholarship supported science in this world where faith and science were not yet seen as two, irreconcilable cultures. The three ancient doors to the next rooms all have signs written on them in Greek and Latin. Luckily for you we created modern metal plates with the translations, next to the doors. So you can pick any of: Greek Mathematics Ptolemy's Geography Greek Astronomy Also, someone left a note on the wall. When you have seen everything, walk back to the Main Hall

85. History Of Mathematics Home Page mathematics written in ancient greek was translated into Arabic. Aboutthe same time some mathematics of India was translated into Arabic. http://aleph0.clarku.edu/~djoyce/mathhist/mathhist.html

Every culture on earth has developed some mathematics. In some cases, this mathematics has spread from one culture to another. Now there is one predominant international mathematics, and this mathematics has quite a history. It has roots in ancient Egypt and Babylonia, then grew rapidly in ancient Greece. Mathematics written in ancient Greek was translated into Arabic. About the same time some mathematics of India was translated into Arabic. Later some of this mathematics was translated into Latin and became the mathematics of Western Europe. Over a period of several hundred years, it became the mathematics of the world. There are other places in the world that developed significant mathematics, such as China, southern India, and Japan, and they are interesting to study, but the mathematics of the other regions have not had much influence on current international mathematics. There is, of course, much mathematics being done these and other regions, but it is not the traditional math of the regions, but international mathematics. By far, the most significant development in mathematics was giving it firm logical foundations. This took place in ancient Greece in the centuries preceding Euclid. See
