Mathematics Senior Capstone

The broad theme of the Mathematics Senior Capstone paper is a faith perspective on the influence of mathematics on culture. The background for the paper is generally the second and third parts of Mathematics in a Postmodern Age edited by Russ Howell and James Bradley. Many of the papers look at the mathematization of culture which elevates values of efficiency, quantification, and algorithms at the expense of more difficult to quanitify primary values such as ethical and religious values. The paper is researched and written in a short period of time during the January term.
