Mathematical Knowledge and the Interplay of Practices


Free Download Mathematical Knowledge and the Interplay of Practices By José Ferreirós
2016 | 360 Pages | ISBN: 0691167516 | PDF | 2 MB
This book presents a new approach to the epistemology of mathematics by viewing mathematics as a human activity whose knowledge is intimately linked with practice. Charting an exciting new direction in the philosophy of mathematics, José Ferreirós uses the crucial idea of a continuum to provide an account of the development of mathematical knowledge that reflects the actual experience of doing math and makes sense of the perceived objectivity of mathematical results.Describing a historically oriented, agent-based philosophy of mathematics, Ferreirós shows how the mathematical tradition evolved from Euclidean geometry to the real numbers and set-theoretic structures. He argues for the need to take into account a whole web of mathematical and other practices that are learned and linked by agents, and whose interplay acts as a constraint. Ferreirós demonstrates how advanced mathematics, far from being a priori, is based on hypotheses, in contrast to elementary math, which has strong cognitive and practical roots and therefore enjoys certainty.Offering a wealth of philosophical and historical insights, Mathematical Knowledge and the Interplay of Practices challenges us to rethink some of our most basic assumptions about mathematics, its objectivity, and its relationship to culture and science.

In den 15 Beiträgen dieses Buches erhalten Sie praktisches Fachwissen zu den bedeutendsten Themen des heutigen IT-Managements. Der Einsatz von Informationstechnologien (IT) entscheidet mehr denn je die Art und Weise, wie Unternehmen Geld verdienen. Dabei ergeben sich herausragende Geschäfts- und Innovationspotenziale für Unternehmen. Doch diese positiven Wirkungen ergeben sich nicht automatisch, sondern erfordern ein adäquates Management des IT-Einsatzes. Bei dieser Aufgabe stoßen jedoch viele der bisher eingesetzten Methoden und Vorgehensweisen des IT-Managements an ihre Grenzen. Denn die Rahmenbedingungen haben sich in den letzten Jahren signifi kant geändert: die Komplexität und Dynamik nehmen deutlich zu, gleichzeitig werden die Innovationszyklen in der IT immer kürzer. Für das Management der IT sind unter diesen veränderten Rahmenbedingungen neue Denkmuster und Lösungsansätze erforderlich.
