There are two different types of reductionism. One is called methodological reductionism, the other one theory reductionism. Methodological reductionism is about the properties of the real world. It’s about taking things apart into smaller things and finding that the smaller things determ

Limits and Limit Laws in Calculus
In introducing the concept of differentiation, we investigated the behavior of some parameter in the limit of something else approaching zero or infinity. This concept of limits is how calculus got started. As the field developed, new techniques arose such that we don't have to find limits

Where Does the Definition of the Derivative Come From?
A student asked about the definition of the derivative in class so I derived the definition really quickly. We had just finished covering infinite limits so we were not talking about derivatives yet, but it was such a good question that I thought I should share this here. I hope this hel

11. Marx's Theory of Historical Materialism (cont.)
Foundations of Modern Social Thought (SOCY 151) Today we cover the transition from the young Marx, with his emphasis on change and action, to the mature Marx who turns toward positivist science and determinism, arguing that capitalism will have to fail. Through a closer look at Marx's "

This video explains what a mathematical function is and how it defines a relationship between two sets, the domain and the range. It also introduces three important categories of function: injective, surjective and bijective.

Foundations of Modern Social Thought (SOCY 151) Emile Durkheim, a French scholar who lived from 1858 until 1917, was one of the first intellectuals to use the term "sociology" to describe his work. In the early years of his career, Durkheim's orientation was functionalist (The Division

Jules Hedges - compositional game theory - part I
Compositional game theory is an approach to game theory that is designed to have better mathematical (loosely “algebraic” and “geometric”) properties, while also being intended as a practical setting for microeconomic modelling. It gives a graphical representation of games in which the flo
