Programs developed by Henry Gray, a professor of statistics and mathematics at Southern Methodist University in Dallas, have taken a step beyond other software that aids the disabled because they can accept and read back mathematical symbols and commands.
In other words, if we assume that premises (1) and (4) are true, so that we have to read our mathematical claims as being about (or at least purporting to be about) abstract objects, then the real question is whether there are any good reasons for choosing between platonism and fictionalism.
This present study recorded the hedonic experience of subjects who read simple mathematical statements mentally, problem and solution, without the help of paper/pencil or pocket calculator.
An alternative approach might be to ask subjects to read simple mathematical expressions, and then ask them to respond "true" or "false" to questions such as "2 + 4 = 6" (true) or alternatively "three times two equals seven" (false).
At the age of 15, British children score relatively well on reading, mathematical and scientific literacy.
This tome, just published, compares the reading, mathematical and scientific progress of 400,000 15-year-olds in the 30 OECD countries and 27 others, covering 87% of the world economy.
reading, mathematical, and scientific literacy.
The achievement test assessed reading, mathematical, and scientific literacy.
The evaluation addresses three knowledge areas: reading, mathematical and scientific literacy, and each wave tests in depth a major domain.
Student achievement is measured by students' combined scores in the 2003 PISA tests in reading, mathematical and scientific literacy.
