The future of mathematics viewed from 1800

The article gives a fresh account of Poincare's views on the future of mathematics ca. 1908 and contrasts them with what have become the better-known views of Hilbert. It also includes the first full translation into English of Poincare's address to the ICM of 1908 on the future of mathematics.

Maple V — the future of mathematics

The progression of the nature of mathematics and mathematical problems into the future is a widely debated topic. Mathematicians are motivated by a desire to set a research agenda to direct efforts to specific problems, or a wish to extrapolate the way that subdisciplines relate to mathematics and its possibilities. It seems that the history of mathematics and mathematicians is tied to future prospectives. We would like to discuss the possible future of mathematics and how it will develop or transform into a perhaps different, and unknown to us now, science. We would like to discuss solutions of algebraic and analytic problems achieved by iterative methods inside adaptive intelligent systems that mix and match and combine algorithms as required, and the merging of classical mathematics with Data Science and Artificial Intelligence. Key words: intelligent systems, data, iterations, prospectives

Dr. Rolland R. Smith addressed the Rhode Island Mathematics Teachers’ Association meeting with the Rhode Island Institute of Instruction at their Fall meeting in Providence on Friday, October 27 on the topic “The Future of Mathematics in Our Schools.”

The second half of twentieth century mathematics was profoundly marked by the rise, domination, and decline of mathematical structuralism. It is impossible to understand the current state and the future of mathematics without understanding the corresponding endeavour and going back over its history.

The Future of Mathematics: 1965 to 2065

In this paper I will discuss the fundamental ideas behind proof assistants: What are they and what is a proof anyway? I give a short history of the main ideas, emphasizing the way they ensure the correctness of the mathematics formalized. I will also briefly discuss the places where proof assistants are used and how we envision their extended use in the future. While being an introduction into the world of proof assistants and the main issues behind them, this paper is also a position paper that pushes the further use of proof assistants. We believe that these systems will become the future of mathematics, where definitions, statements, computations and proofs are all available in a computerized form. An important application is and will be in computer supported modelling and verification of systems. But there is still a long road ahead and I will indicate what we believe is needed for the further proliferation of proof assistants.

The use of mathematics in economics has been widely discussed. The philosophical discussion on what mathematics is remains unsettled on why it can be applied to the study of the real world. We propose to get back to some philosophical conceptions that lead to a language-like role for the mathematical analysis of economic phenomena and present some problems of interest that can be better examined in this light. Category theory provides the appropriate tools for these analytical approach.

The Past, Present and Future of Mathematics in China and India

With this issue we are ready to bind together a nother volume of THE ARITHMATIC TEACHER Throughout the year this journal has brought its readers various points of view on curriculum, teacher education, and a pproaches to the teaching of mathematics. It ha been a reporter, reporting the results of research in elementary-school mathematics, noting the implication of these studies for making decisions about the future of mathematics in our elementary schools. It has been a teacher through its pages on which various topics in mathematics were presented. It has served as a source of information about new research, ongoing experimental program, tested ideas to be used in the classroom, and reviews and listing of new books and other teaching materials.

Make mine a double: Moore’s Law and the future of mathematics

The end of the eighteenth century, the age of the Enlightenment, is a period of doubt and pessimism about the future of mathematics, a feeling shared by almost all the leading mathematicians of the time. On September 21st, 1781, Lagrange writes to d’Alembert: I began to sense my ‘force of inertia’ growing little by little, and I am not sure that I will still be able to pursue Geometry ten years from now. It also seems that the mine is almost too deep already, and that unless new veins are discovered, it will have to be abandoned sooner or later. Physics and chemistry now offer riches that are more brilliant and easier to exploit, and the taste of our century also appears to be turned entirely in this direction; it is not impossible that the chairs of Geometry in the Academies will soon become what the chairs in Arabic now are in the universities.” As early as 1699, Fontenelle made a similar prediction, saying that mathematics might well soon become complete, while physics, by its very nature, would be endless. In 1808, in his famous Rapport historique sur le progres des sciences mathematiques depuis 1789 et sur leur etat actuel, Delambre writes: “It would be difficult and perhaps rash to analyze the chance which the future offers to the advancement of mathematics; in almost all its branches one is blocked by insurmountable difficulties; perfection of details seems to be the only thing which remains to be done. (…) All these difficulties appear to announce that the power of our analysis is practically exhausted, as was that of ordinary algebra with respect to transcendental geometry at the time of Leibniz and Newton, and that we need combinations capable of opening up a new field to the calculus of the transcendents and to the solution of the equations which contain them.1
