Lecturer: Prof. Paola Morando
Objectives:
- Develop familiarity with the mathematical thinking that goes beyond the 'formal skills and knowledge of solving techniques.
- promote a real understanding of mathematics as a basis for scientific thought.
- Clarifying the role of mathematics as a science that deals with understanding the ultimate truth, but rather to study relations between objects (which are considered existing in itself) to work with them.
Topic
Math has the ambitious order to experience the infinite, but the most modest to use it consistently in contexts of calculation. The workshop will own some of these contexts, looking at issues such as:
- Infinity in counting problems
- Infinity as a limit to strive
- The sum of infinite numbers
- Infinity in the problems of measurement
On the way out will be the contours of the many paradoxes about infinity flower, illustrating the solutions that mathematicians, in their way, they've found.
Recipients
The workshop is open to all students enrolled in degree courses in Philosophy and Philosophical Sciences. Maximum enrollment is 35 students.
