Number sense and the calculating child: Measure,multiplicity and mathematical monsters

ABSTRACT

Children and animals of all kinds are said to develop some degree of number sense. The search for ‘number neurons’ and neural correlates of computational thinking aims to identify biological primitives to explain the emergence of number sense. This work typically looks for the sources of number sense in organisms, but one might extend this search and study the possibility of a calculating matter more generally. Such a speculative project explores the implications of the non-human turn within the posthumanities. In this paper, I draw primarily on the work of Vicky Kirby and Gilles Deleuze in order to focus on becoming-monster through calculation. I show how calculation, as a machinic and empirical act that both serves and troubles images of mathematical truth, has always played a unique role in the production of mathematical monsters. I then discuss calculating children who participate in abacus clubs and annual abacus competitions, calculating at inhuman rates with imaginary abacuses. I argue that a new materialist philosophy of immanence demands a radically new approach to number sense.     

试析我国市场经济中的寻租问题

所谓寻租，即租金的寻求，通常是指经济主体寻求非生产性利润的行为，它是我国改革开放以来经济中出现的一种泛滥最广、危害最大的新现象，由此引发的一系列腐败行为也引起了理论界的广泛关注。本文试图分析寻租的形成机制以及对设租、寻租行为的治理与防范。     

Revising the ISSN Standard: The Challenge of Change

ABSTRACT

The International Standard Serial Number (ISSN) has been the standard, eight-digit code used to identify newspapers, journals, magazines, and periodicals on all kinds of media—print and electronic—for the past 40 years. Periodically, the standard must be revised to allow it to accommodate new formats, changes in the publishing industry and information supply chain, and other developments in the information field. Regina Romano Reynolds, director of the U.S. ISSN Center at the Library of Congress, describes the issues that the ISSN International Centre perceives as necessitating a revision of the standard and the likely next steps in the International Organization for Standardization standards revision process.

古代神秘数字观念与《诗品》品评结构模式

由于钟嵘在《诗品》中精心选设了古代“三”、“十二”、“三十九”、“七十二”等一组神秘数字序列 ,并以其作为构成自己诗学思想体系内在基本的结构素 ,划分诗人品第 ,确定“三品”诗人群体数量 ,从而构筑了《诗品》的品评结构模式 ,透示出“照烛三才 ,辉丽万有”的诗学本体论追求和古代哲学“天人合一”的终极价值意向。《诗品》也成为中国古典诗学史上极富整体性和序列性的经典之作     

高校扩招的现状、问题及对策研究

1999年高校扩招政策的出台启动了我国高等教育大众化发展的进程，这是政府顺应历史潮流，适应社会经济发展、满足人民群众教育需求所做出的重大举措。在高校扩招的进程中，教育质量下滑和毕业生就业难是教育界争论得最多的两大问题，在分析现状的基础上，找出问题产生的根源，并探讨行之有效的对策来加以解决。     

如何讲好“实数理论”

:本文探讨如何讲好“实数理论”。从实数集的完备性的公理出发到讲解“实数理论”的一系列定理及用这些定理证明的后继定理都应该突出“实数集的完备性”。使学生能抓住事物的本质 ,深刻理解“实数集的完备性”是《数学分析》的理论基础     

析学术期刊页码的编排

页码是期刊的一个重要组成部分.目前学术期刊页码的编排形式多种多样.要高度重视和规范学术期刊页码的编排.在页码编排这一细节中要引入CIS中的VI(视觉识别),页码应是VI的一个重要组成.
