22. Peter Suber, "Translation Tips"
on translating from english into this foreign english we say that p is true "just when" q is true. ( Or perhaps this locution is only common among logicians and mathematicians
http://www.earlham.edu/~peters/courses/log/transtip.htm
Translation Tips Peter Suber Philosophy Department Earlham College In this hand-out I treat the notation of truth-functional propositional logic and first-order predicate logic as a language, and give guidance on translating from English into this foreign language. In general, "logical" issues, such as methods for making use of the expressions once translated, are omitted here. References to Irving Copi's Symbolic Logic are to the fifth edition, Macmillan, 1979. Truth-Functional Propositional Logic
  • Bivalence . While there are 3-valued and many-valued logics, remember that our logic is 2-valued (or bivalent). Therefore, "She was not unhappy" must be translated as if it were synonymous with "She was happy." If you dislike this restriction, then you dislike bivalence and will have a reason to use a 3-valued or many-valued logic.
  • Exclusive disjunction . Remember that " " in our notation expresses inclusive disjunction: "p q" means that either p is true or q is true or both . The exclusive disjunction of p and q asserts that either p is true or q is true but not both . The natural, but long-winded, way to express exclusive disjunction, then, is "(p

    http://www.math.uio.no/abel/nha/main.html
    Niels Henrik Abel
    Although when Abel's father died in 1820 the family was left in straitened circumstances, the boy was able to enter the University of Christiania (Oslo) in 1821 because his teacher contributed and raised funds. He obtained a preliminary degree from the university in 1822 and continued his studies independently with further subsidies obtained by his teacher. His first papers, published in 1823 in the new periodical Magazin for Naturvidenskaberne, were on functional equations and integrals, his solution of an integral equation being the first. Abel's friends urged the Norwegian government to grant him a fellowship for study in Germany and France. While waiting for the royal decree to be issued, in 1824 he published at his own expense his proof of the impossibility of solving algebraically the general equation of the fifth degree, which he hoped would bring him recognition. He sent the pamphlet to Gauss, who dismissed it, failing to recognize that the famous problem had indeed been settled. Arriving in Paris in the summer of 1826, he called on the foremost mathematicians and completed a memoir on transcendental functions. This major work presented a theory of integrals of algebraic functions, in particular the result known as Abel's theorem: there is a finite number, or genus, of independent integrals of this nature. This theorem is the basis for the later theory of Abelian integrals and Abelian functions. Abel was accepted with restrained civility in Paris, for his work was still unknown. He submitted his memoir for presentation to the Academy of Sciences, hoping to establish his reputation, but he waited in vain. Before leaving Paris, thinking he had a persistent cold, Abel consulted a physician, who informed him he had tuberculosis.

    ALGEBRA
    2 dimensions base x
    Algebra involves the study of numbers in terms of their functions and relations. In mathematics , a formal language , we use numerals to represent known or specified numbers, and letters to represent unknown or unspecified numbers. In English , a natural language , we use names or proper nouns to represent known or specific individuals, and pronouns to represent unknown or unspecified individuals. The Montessori student learns proper use of the English language while interacting with physical objects represented by the proper nouns and pronouns of English, not by employing some other natural language as a metalanguage in which to discuss the English language. (It is generally poor practice to use a natural language, which the student has substantially mastered, as a metalanguage in which to study a second natural language. Such practice usually results in the student translating expressions from the second language into the first language for processing, rather than learning to think and speak fluently in the second language. A similar practice, using English as a metalanguage in which to study the language of mathematics, is even more costly to the student.) The following is an explanation of how the student learns algebra while interacting with manipulatives, physical

    Banach-Tarski Paradox : In 1924, two Polish mathematicians, Stefan Banach and Alfred Tarski, proved a rather peculiar result: you could decompose a sphere (or any polyhedral figure) into a finite number of pieces, then from those pieces, reconstruct a similar sphere of larger volume. Since this would imply that all volumes are the same, this upset a number of people. Cantor, Georg : German mathematician who first examined the notion of infinities and showed that not all infinities are equal: some are more equal then others. Cardano, Giralamo : Italian mathematician, best known for his Ars Magna , a compendium of algebra published in 1545 (right on the heels of Vesalius De Fabrica Corporis Humanis and Copernicus' De Revolutionibus : the 1540s were a banner decade for scientific advance.) Cardano is best known for having published in Ars Magna Niccolo Tartaglia's rule for solving cubic equations , much to Tartaglia's annoyance. (Cardano gave Tartaglia full credit, though not very loudly...in those days, practitioners of mathematics got their fame by being able to solve problems no one else could, and if every Tomas, Riccardo, and Enrico could solve a cubic, Niccolo's reputation would be worthless). Tartaglia spent the rest of his life trying to discredit Cardano. Cubic Equations Galois and Abel were able to show that solutions to the fifth or higher degree equations were impossible. Solving the cubic was fraught with

    How did you learn English?
    I had my first contact with English when I was six. My dad inspired me to listen to The Beatles . I listened to them every day for the next seven years. In the beginning I could understand nothing of what they were singing. But soon I started to understand individual words, especially the ones which appeared in the song titles. Later I got a book with the words of all the songs. I read the book many times. I learned many songs by heart . I sang the songs to myself. Still, I understood very little of the meaning. It became my dream to learn English so well that I could understand

    This is how it is done:
    Add together the number of cards in the suit held by the partnership Take this total from 13 to give the number of cards held by the opponents. If this remainder is even, divide it by 2 to give a number x. If the remainder is odd, add 1 then divide by 2 to get x. If there is an even break, as is reasonably likely, the remaining cards will split x : x between the two hands, or x : x-1 if they have an odd number.

    Algebra, theory of numbers, and mathematical logic
    Profound investigations are carried on in the theory of models, which became an independent part of mathematical logic. This theory studies the connections between formal languages and their interpretations or models.
    At present, investigations in mathematical logic and algorithm theory are headed by Academician Yuri Leonidovich Ershov . Due to intensive development of computers, the notion of algorithm became one of the most important notions in modern mathematics. Along with studying the theory of numberings, which dates back to A. I. Mal'tsev, the problems of elementary classification of algebraic objects and problems of algorithmic decidability or undecidability of elementary theories of various classes of algebraic systems are studied. Problems of generalized theory of computability are investigated with the aim of further development of classical recursion theory.
    Investigations in algorithm theory, constructive models and algebras, applied logic are headed by Corresponding Member of RAS
