| | | | | A continuation ofthis, where I take notes on my workshop atHCSSiM. The real numbers are uncountable Today we used Cantor's diagonal argument to prove that the real numbers aren't countable. Namely, we assumed they were, and that we had a bijection $latex f: \mathbb{N} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ and then proved it didn't contain the real number... | |

| | | | | The rational numbers $latex {\mathbb{Q}}&fg=000000$ are dense in the real numbers $latex {\mathbb{R}}&fg=000000$. The cardinality of rational numbers in the interval $latex {(0,1)}&fg=000000$ is $latex {\boldsymbol{\aleph}_0}&fg=000000$. We cannot list them in ascending order, because there is no least rational number greater than $latex {0}&fg=000000$. However, there are several ways of enumerating the rational numbers. The... | |

| | | | | The aim of this post is to motivate the idea of representing probability spaces as states on a commutative algebra. We will consider how this abstract construction relates directly to classical probabilities. In the standard axiomatization of probability theory, due to Kolmogorov, the central construct is a probability space $latex {(\Omega,\mathcal F,{\mathbb P})}&fg=000000$. This consists... | |

| | | Continuing the theme of alternative approaches to teaching calculus, I take the liberty of posting a letter sent by Donald Knuth to to the Notices of the American Mathematical Society in March, 1998 (TeX file). Professor Anthony W. Knapp P O Box 333 East Setauket, NY 11733 Dear editor, I am pleased to see so... | ||
