	Amazon.com: Mathematics: The Loss of Certainty: Books: Morris Kline (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Kline shows a great insight concerning the history of the development of mathematics, a recount of the problems that different mathematicians had throughout history, the way they pretended to solve the problem, their logical and illogical reasons for doing so.
		Kline informs us that the current state of the science is that in which in true postmodern fashion several schools somewhat peacefully coexist--among them, Russell's logicism, Brouwer's intuitionism, Hilbert's formalism, and Bourbaki's set theory--in apparent abandonment of the nineteenth-century goal of achieving the perfection of truth in formal mathematical structures.
		Kline is persuasive in his arguments that alternate algebras and geometries are possible and useful, and one can hardly doubt that such alternatives lend themselves to a degree of modesty and potential relativity in mathematical claims to knowledge.

	Kline Acquired from Orioles for Hawkins - ProSportsDaily Forums
		DALLAS -- Relief pitcher Steve Kline is a renowned stand-up comedian and magician, and Tuesday -- with a flourish and hocus-pocus -- he transformed himself from a Baltimore Oriole to a San Francisco Giant.
		Kline is an eight-year veteran who had a 2-4 mark and 4.28 ERA over 61 innings last season for Baltimore.
		Kline was enthusiastic about hooking up again with Alou and Matheny, saying, "Felipe was a big part of why I'm in the big leagues -- he helped me and molded me into a pretty good pitcher.

	Lee Lady: My Life as Professor
		According to Kline, the reasons that we do so badly teaching mathematics have to do with what is taught, how it is taught, who teaches it, what books it is taught out of, and why it is taught.
		Kline is someone who has specialized in certain parts of applied mathematics, and also in the history and philosophy of mathematics, and so naturally these are the parts of mathematics which he thinks should play the leading role in the curriculum.
		Morris Kline writes that young faculty are pushed into doing research much too rapidly, and consequently there is a pressure to do superficial research.

		Morris Kline points, out that today there is not one universally accepted concept of mathematics - in fact, there are many conflicting ones.
		Indeed, mathematical activity is flourishing as never before, with the rapidly growing interest in computers and the current search for quantitative relationships in the social and biological sciences.
		Kline explains in non-technical language the drastic changes that have taken place in our understanding of "pure" as well as "applied" math, and the implications for science and for human reason generally.

		Professor Kline recounts a series of ``shocks'', ``disasters'' and ``shattering'' experiences leading to a ``loss of certainty'' in mathematics.
		However, he doesn't mean that the astronaut should mistrust the computations that tell him that firing the rocket in the prescribed direction for the prescribed number of seconds will get him to the moon.
		Professor Kline's presentation of these and other surprises as shocks that made mathematicians lose confidence in the certainty and in the future of mathematics seems overdrawn.

		Kline works hard to ground the book to reality, so is it useful and applicable, rather than just an exercise in superficial algebraic regurgitation as so many others teach calculus to be.
		Kline provides realistic examples and focus attention on scientific and practical uses of calculus: eg motion down a inclined plain, projectiles, etc. There are lots of problems in each section.
		Kline write like he is like that smart, cool, friendly lecturer we found once at university and longed for the rest of the time we were there.

		A must read for those interested in the humanistic value of a subject concider cold and forbiding by some who are disallusioned about what mathematics really is and its purpose in the history of mankind.
		Kline's book is a surprisingly accessible history of math, equations and all.
		It's a perfect balance for those who know their history and want to know more about the math behind scientific ideas, and those who know their math and want to delve into the practical applications of mathematical ideas.

		Unfortunately, Kline excludes a beautiful application that he discusses in his book "Mathematics and the Physical World": to shoot down a vertically dropping bomb one should fire towards the point where the bomb is dropped at the instant it is dropped; this guarantees a hit regardless of firing velocity.
		Kline says that his book is intended for those liberal arts students who are not drawn to math.
		Kline does a superb job of explaining how mathematical thinking evolved from ancient times to the near present, before the veritable explosion of modern mathematics.

	Mathematics and the Search for Knowledge (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Morris Kline is of that rare breed of scientist, as his earlier books, including Mathematics in Western Culture, Mathematical Thought from Ancient to Modern Times, and Mathematics: The Loss of Certainty, attest.
		In this book, Kline recounts how scientists have turned more and more to mathematics to stretch our knowledge as opposed to relying strictly on the empirical method of observation and experimentation.
		Morris Kline is Professor of Mathematics, Emeritus, at New York University.

	Artemiadis
		Morris Kline is given no credit whatsoever in the body of Artemiadis' text (apart from being listed in the bibliography), despite the fact that he wrote much of it.
		Although the translation and retranslation process has altered many of Kline's individual words, even a superficial inspection reveals that sentences, paragraphs, and even whole pages of Artemiadis' writings are clearly isomorphic to passages in Kline's classic history.
		Morris Kline, incidentally, is not the only victim, though he is the most conspicuous.

	Inspection limits
		Although considerable information has been available and presented on the technology limitations, some of the data is not common to all brands and types of the scanners used in the inspections.
		Part of the limitation of using the scanners is a result of the tank bottom obstructions, such as weld seams, plate shapes and sizes, corner welds, patch plates, and thick reinforced coatings and annular plates.
		Kline advised managers to be aware of the technology's limitations, make an informed risk assessment, and revise or develop a work scope for the tank inspection vendor that addresses either all tanks or is specific to particular tanks based on tank characteristics, risk analysis, or tank condition.

	Mathematics in Ancient India -- Source Evaluation
		If there is anyone to counter Birodkar's web site, it's Morris Kline.
		This was another "general history of math" book, and included a full chapter (out of 20 total) on India.
		Although that statistic isn't much better than Kline's, I much preferred this book because he said that the reason there wasn't much on Indian math was because not enough research had been done; but from other sources, I found that more research HAD been done than he had included information on.

		Morris seemed like a guy who's planning to me a broadcaster after baseball; very polished and poised.

		Application-oriented introduction relates the subject as closely as possible to science with explorations of the derivative; differentiation and integration of the powers of "x"; theorems on differentiation, antidifferentiation; the chain rule; trigonometric functions; more.
		In this book Kline examines the development of mathematics as our most powerful instrument for exploring the physical world.
		Hirsch et al present a selection of the most important scholarly research on organizational analysis and field study; quantitative data collection and modelling; and conceptualization of time and temporal order -- areas of vital concern to communication researchers.

	differentiation of ellipse equation
		In Morris Kline's 'Calculus', he puts the ellipse equation in this form, b^2X^2+a^2y^2=a^2b^2, and says this is the best way to differentiate it; i did it thinking implicit differentiation and the product rule, but I'd get four terms on one side and two terms on the other side.
		He doesn't show how he did the implicit differentiation, but his result is -b^2x/a^2y, which seems pretty hard to get to from the above first form of the elipse equation.
		The Morris equation is just the other equation multiplied by (a^2)(b^2).

		The West Valley College Mathematics Department subscribes wholeheartedly to the beliefs of Morris Kline and Bertrand Russell.
		The department believes that all people should have the opportunity to experience mathematics, not just as a series of apparently meaningless technical procedures, but as Morris Kline and Bertrand Russell have.
		We have 19 instructors, some who have just recently graduated with their master's or PhD degrees, and some who have been here for 30 years.

		I'm pretty sure Matheny, Renteria, Morris, Kline and LaRussa/Jocketty are without a contract at this point, Woody has a club option and Marquis is eligible for arbitration.
		Walton’s take: Morris passed on a two-year, $15.5 million extension last off-season and would probably like a mulligan.
		It's a shame, but might be the right time to do it given his injury problems of late.
