1	Intuition versus Formalization: Some Implications of Incompleteness on Mathematical Thought Lindman, Phillip A. (Phillip Anthony) 08 1900 (has links) This paper describes the tension between intuition about number theory and attempts to formalize it. I will first examine the root of the dilemma, Godel's First Incompleteness Theorem, which demonstrates that in any reasonable formalization of number theory, there will be independent statements. After proving the theorem, I consider some of its consequences on intuition, focusing on Freiling's "Dart Experiment" which is based on our usual notion of the real numbers as a line. This experiment gives an apparent refutation of the Axiom of Choice and the Continuum Hypothesis; however, it also leads to an equally apparent paradox. I conclude that such paradoxes are inevitable as the formalization of mathematics takes us further from our initial intuitions. Logic, Symbolic and mathematical.

2	System för de ännu inte tänkta tankarna Rundberg, Mikael January 2002 (has links) Titeln ”system för de ännu inte tänkta tankarna” är en liten ordlek menad att varaprovocerande. Provocerande för att systemets funktionalitet påstås vara det sinnligaoch mystiska i det plötsliga uppdykandet av tankar eller idéer – ”de inte ännu tänktatankarna”. Detta fenomen brukar tillfalla intuitionens konto och kommer nästan alltidpå tal när kreativitet diskuteras. Med undertiteln ”Ett skissverktyg för den modernedesignern i Schön dialog med designsituationen” menas att arbetet genomsyras avDonald Schöns idéer om Den reflekterade praktikern.1Denna uppsats handlar om kreativitet, det visuella tänkandet och hantverket med attteckna/skissa i designmiljöer som blir allt mer präglade av datorsystem och detdigitala materialet. De designområden som, av ganska naturliga skäl, ligger ifrontlinjen i användningen av digitalteknik som designredskap är medieindustrin ochinformationsteknologin. Det är också här som designern befinner sig i situationer därbilder och skisser existerar i digitala format och som traditionella pappersburna bilderoch skisser. Denna ”visuella dynamik” borde betyda nya förutsättningar ochmöjligheter för det kreativa arbetet. Min huvudsakliga fokusering ligger på deskissprocesser, både individuella och kollektiva, som är en så viktig del avdesignprocessen.Uppsatsen beskriver utvecklingen av ett koncept till ett skissverktyg för en modern och ”digitaliserad” designmiljö där jag vill ta vara på skissernas kreativa kvaliteteroch tillföra dem den moderna mobila teknikens fördelar.

3	The Relationship between sense of coherence, learned resourcefulness and personality type among technical personnel Du Toit, François Stephanus 30 September 2002 (has links) This research study determined the relationship between personality, as measured by the Myers and Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) and sense of coherence and learned resourcefulness. The study was conducted among one hundred technical workers within the context of organizational transformation and the ability to cope with resulting stress. Data was collected by means of the Myers and Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI), the Orientation to Life Questionnaire (OLQ) and the Self-control Schedule (SCS). The research found that sense of coherence can be predicted at a 5% significance level, while learned resourcefulness cannot be predicted. Extraverts, sensers, thinkers and judgers seem to cope better with stress-provoking demands. The respective personality types probably make use of different coping mechanisms under the same circumstances. Personality type seems to predict sense of coherence, but factors other than personality type could have an Influence. / Industrial and Organisational Psychology / M.Comm.
