4 Perspective Challenges Research

5 facilitate Languages g efficient management of our memory understanding di The knowledge Challenge? Teaching remember, transmit, evolve... English, Chinese, Spanish,... Music, Dance, Painting... Algebra, Calculus, Physics, Chemistry, biology, engineering... History, Anthropology, Law, Medicine...

6 facilitate Languages g efficient management of our memory understanding di The knowledge Challenge? Teaching remember, transmit, evolve... Need to invent of artificial memory devices for storing information captured by the different languages

7 The impact of artificial memory technology Spoken languages 60Kya printing press 500ya Source: Wikipedia Writing 5Kya

8 Artificial memory Evolution

9 MB 1 Ton 256 GB very light $160,000 today $1.3M $200 $250M per GB $1 per GB 10 8 : 1

10 Artificial memory The next challenge? Infinite it capacity... Q: What do we have?

11 Artificial memory Do you know what is the information that you have? On your laptop / / dropbox? Q: What do we have?

12 How do you know your information? Associations What is our associative sense?

13 ice cream cold vanilla

14 phone pay call line Mednick 1962, The associative basis of the creative process

15 Our associative sense is 3 3 is a small number need a number system for associations

16 Associative Artificial Memory Do you know what is the information that you have? On your laptop / / dropbox? Research challenge: Invention of artificial memory devices with associative retrieval??

17 Associative Memories Yue Li Caltech

18 Back to the language g of numbers

19 Bones Tokens What happened after mathematics? Numbers Mathematics

20 our first algorithm The language of numbers Translation between languages

21 Positional number systems

22 Base-10 is embedded in our language and thought Base-b Positional Systems

23 Translation between languages Base-b Conversion n to Base-B B French French to English English Spanish English to Spanish

24 Translation between languages Base-b Conversion n to Base-B B b Base b to base Base 10 to base B B Sum the corresponding weights using base-10 arithmetic Successive division by B using base-10 arithmetic

25 Base-b: Conversion to Base-B using base-10 arithmetic b Base b to base Base 10 to base B B Sum the corresponding weights using base-10 arithmetic Successive division by B using base-10 arithmetic

26 Idea: discover the blue blocks! Base-b: Conversion from Base 10 Conversion from base-10 to binary: Even number the right most block is yellow Odd number the right most block is blue If odd subtract 1 Divide id by 2 to expose the next block... Our first algorithm - syntax manipulation

27 Base-b: Conversion from Base 10 Conversion from base-10 to binary: The PPT COMPUTER

28 The PPT COMPUTER Base-b: Conversion from Base 10 Conversion from base-10 to binary:

29 The language of numbers weighted and weighted positional

30 Number Systems weighted positional system weighted system 4x x1 = x x10 + 6x1 = 276 2x x10 + 6x1 = 276 CCLXXVI 2x x50 + 2x10 + 1x5 + 1x1= 276

31 What does a positional number system have that is unique? bounded syntax 0

32 Number Systems finite alphabet Unbounded alphabet weighted positional system weighted system 4x x1 = x x10 + 6x1 = 276 2x x10 + 6x1 = 276 CCLXXVI 2x x50 + 2x10 + 1x5 + 1x1= 276

33 No 0 Can we represent a number in a positional system without a 0? Assume base 10 Answer: Yes?? How will you represent 10 without a 0? idea - represent 10 with a new digit: A How will you represent 100 without a 0? 100 = 9A

34 No 0 base 10 base 10 no-0 same weights Different digits Q: How many different quantities can be represented by at most two digits? 100 base base 10 no-0

35 Base-10 No-0 Positional System???

36 Base-10 No-0 Positional System It is all about syntax!!

37 Base-10 No-0 Positional System It is all about syntax!!??????

38 Base-10 No-0 Positional System It is all about syntax!!

39 Base-10 No-0 Positional System It is all about syntax!!??? You will study this algorithm in HW#2

40 The language of numbers Q: Can we represent everything with integers? Approximations

41 The Babylonians knew everything! YBC 7289 ~1700BC

42 (1,24, 51,10) (42,2 5, 35)

43 (1,24,51,10) x (0;30) (42,25,35) x + (42,25,35) (2) (1,10) (50,0) (1,24,0,0) (1,24,51,10) (1,24, 51,10) (42,2 5, 35) (2) x (0;30) = (1)

44 The Babylonians loved reciprocals!!! (1;24,51,10) x (0;30) (0;42,25,35) So what?? (1;24,51,10) x (0;42,25,35) ~(1) Assume an exact value... (1,24, 51,10) (42,2 5, 35)

45 So what?? (1,24, 51,10) (42,2 5, 35) The Babylonians knew Pythagoras Theorem and how to approximate the square root...

46 (1,24, 51,10) (42,2 5, 35) The Babylonians knew Pythagoras Theorem and how to approximate the square root...

47 The Babylonians knew everything... However,... They created a highly advanced civilization: music, literature, law, medicine, science, engineering, mathematics... They had (schools) a formal education system! Schools had both boys and girls!

48 The Babylonians knew everything... However,... For 1,000 years they made very little progress in mathematics... My Conjecture: They taught only the how and did not teach the why... NO (documented...) proofs... Why are proofs important?

49 The Babylonians knew everything... However,... For 1,000 years they made very little progress in mathematics... To make progress: We need to impart the sensation of ideas as they are conceived and not only as they are known NO (documented...) proofs... Why are proofs important?

50 The Babylonians NO proofs... knew everything... They taught the how and not the why The solution came with the Greeks

51 Alexander the Great, BC Captured Egypt, Babylonia 331BC Died in June, 323 BC, age 32 in Babylonia Recorded in the Babylonian astronomical diaries 800 years of records!! source: wikipedia

52 The language of proofs rational numbers

53 Pythagoras Proofs Euclid,300BC BC The solution came with the Greeks

54 Pythagoras Proof: Euclid,300BC BC Our first proof - contradiction, parity... Assume that p and q are relatively prime (simplified) Reach a contradiction!! p odd? p even? p odd, q even: NO p even, q even: NO p odd, q odd: NO p even, q odd: NO which had to be demonstrated Quod Erat Demonstrandum QED

55 The Babylonians knew Pythagoras Theorem and how to approximate the square root... The Babylonians knew everything...

56 The Babylonians knew Pythagoras Theorem and how to approximate the square root...

57 A tablet called: Plimpton 322, from 1800 BC, at Columbia U 9x13 cm

58 The Babylonians knew Pythagoras Theorem and how to approximate the square root... and compute Pythagorean triples??

59 The Babylonians knew Pythagoras Theorem and how to approximate the square root... and compute Pythagorean triples??

60 The language of proofs Babylonian / Pythagoras Theorem

61 Proof?? Pythagoras BC Euclid,300BC Thm: Given a right triangle with sides a, b and c, where a and b are the legs, then:

62 China ~400BC Book named 'Chou pei Suan Ching'

63 Idea: Compute the area QED

64 Babylonian Clay Tablets Greek Proofs... DNA of mathematical knowledge
