 Constructivism (mathematics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
In the philosophy of mathematics, constructivism asserts that it is necessary to find (or "construct") a mathematical object to prove that it exists.
When one assumes that an object does not exist and derives a contradiction from that assumption, one still has not found the object and therefore not proved its existence, according to constructivists.
In any case, most mathematicians see no need to restrict themselves to constructivist methods, even if this can be done.

According to the course catalog, this class was about the “Major political philosophies from Plato to Machiavelli and their influence on such key concepts as justice, equality, and political obligation.” But Professor Vocino’s class focused mainly on the professor’s sexual preference and social beliefs and his vendetta against political conservatives and Christians.

At the start of the next class this student and I were asked to stand in front of the class and explain why we were Republicans.
