This study consists of the existence and finding of the centre of a given conic. In many books of coordinate geometry we usually notice a statement that the centre of a parabola is at infinity. But this statement is actually wrong. The correct statement should be there exist no centre of a parabola. Because ‘at infinity’ means there exist but we can’t find it. Here we had proved this simple thing using very simple algebraic calculations. We had also enclosed the long calculative classical method of it as defined in some well known coordinate geometry books.","PeriodicalId":432647,"journal":{"name":"Logic & Philosophy of Mathematics eJournal","volume":"620 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-07-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116402500","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On the other hand, religion is something interpretive and subjective. Historically speaking, religion and mathematics have a strong association and in certain aspects, both of them have points of contact that can permeate each other. The forms of intersection between mathematics and religion need to be analyzed so that we will be able to see more clearly the current religious phenomenon. This study investigates and discovers a potential encounter between religion and mathematics. To see the relationship between religion and mathematics, and even their fusion, the first thing to do is determine the definition of religion and mathematics. With a clear understanding of both, the encounter points will be easier to recognize. The research method used in this study is a literature review. This study collects systematically a variety of literature related to the theme under study. The encounter between religion and mathematics undergoes at five dimensions, they are ontological, epistemological, teleological, theoretical and application dimension. This study more focused on similarities to reveal the connection between religion and mathematics. \u0000 ","PeriodicalId":432647,"journal":{"name":"Logic & Philosophy of Mathematics eJournal","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123176661","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is the transfinite generalization of information and re-presentable by transfinite ordinals. The physical world being in the current of time shares the quality of “choice”. Thus quantum information can be seen as the universal substance of the world serving to describe uniformly future, past, and thus the present as the frontier of time. Future is represented as a coherent whole, present as a choice among infinitely many alternatives, and past as a well-ordering obtained as a result of a series of choices. The concept of quantum information describes the frontier of time, that “now”, which transforms future into past. Quantum information generalizes information from finite to infinite series or collections. The concept of quantum information allows of any physical entity to be interpreted as some nonzero quantity of quantum information. The fundament of quantum information is the concept of ‘quantum bit’, “qubit”. A qubit is a choice among an infinite set of alternatives. It generalizes the unit of classical information, a bit, which refer to a finite set of alternatives. The qubit is also isomorphic to a ball in Euclidean space, in which two points are chosen.","PeriodicalId":432647,"journal":{"name":"Logic & Philosophy of Mathematics eJournal","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117193632","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

E. Brady","doi":"10.2139/ssrn.3289046","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.2139/ssrn.3289046","url":null,"abstract":"Starting with J. Muth’s unsupported and unsupportable claims, originally made in 1961, that “rational expectations�? were subjective probability distributions that were distributed around a known, true, objective probability distribution, various economists have provided the same type of unsupported and unsupportable claim to assert that subjective probability distributions become equal to objective probability distributions. This is impossible since the only restriction allowed in the subjective theory of probability is that the subjective probabilities must be additive, so that they are coherent, which means that they conform to, and are consistent with, the mathematical laws of the probability calculus. Any other restrictions added, as done by Muth initially, and later by rational expectationist adherents like Lucas and Sargent, to this requirement of additivity, are rejected. The many restrictions incorporated by rational expectationists lead to the limiting frequency theory of probability, which can only hold in the very long run as one approaches infinity. Rational expectationists, however, claim that the decision makers can know the limiting, convergent behavior in the short run of the long run series of observations. They commit the logical fallacy of conditional a priorism, or long runism, that was examined repeatedly by the philosopher of science, Nicholas Rescher, in the 1970’s. None of the claims made by rational expectationists can ever hold in the short run. For instance, the Rational expectationist claim that the Phillips Curve is vertical in the short run is a perfect example of the logical fallacy of conditional a priorism.","PeriodicalId":432647,"journal":{"name":"Logic & Philosophy of Mathematics eJournal","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125797703","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is well-known that the factor loading matrix of a classic factor model can only be determined up to a multiplication of an orthogonal matrix on the right if one only considers the first and second moments. To our best knowledge, there are no researches on the analysis of higher order moments in the literature. We take the first step to leverage the information of the fourth-order moments of observable variables and show that, under certain conditions, the factor loading matrix can be identified if the fourth moment of the normalized factor is different from that of a standard normal distribution. The exclusion of normal distributed factor model is necessary since such factor model is deemed to be indeterminate. Although our proof depends on some extra technical assumption, we believe, confirmed by some numerical results, that the factor loading matrix can be identified in general as long as above assumption regarding fourth moment of the normalized factor holds. We also provide an effective algorithm to fit a factor model with a large number of observable variables.","PeriodicalId":432647,"journal":{"name":"Logic & Philosophy of Mathematics eJournal","volume":"205 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116185714","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
