	Motive (algebraic geometry) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mathematically, the theory of motives is then the conjectural "universal" cohomology theory for such objects.
		The consistency of a useful theory of motives still requires some conjectures to be proven and at the present moment there are different definitions of motives.
		There is also a notion of a mixed motive: one expects that a mixed motive is to a motive as a mixed Hodge structure is to a Hodge structure.

	Motive
		Motive is a term that turns up both in the popular psychology of literature and cinema, and as term of art in law.
		Motive is particularly important in prosecutions for homicide.
		The lesser offence of voluntary manslaughter, for example, traditionally required that the accused knowingly and voluntarily kill the victim (as in murder); in addition, it must be shown that the killing took place in the "sudden heat of passion," an excess of rage or anger coming from a contemporary provocation, which clouded the accused mind.

		Motive in itself is seldom an element of any given crime ; however, the legal system typically allows motive to be proven in order to make plausible the accused'sreasons for committing a crime, at least when those motives may be obscure or hard to identify with.

		They found that well- motivated and achieving students selected strategies congruent with their motivational pattern and used them effectively, while poor achievers used achieving strategies which were non-congruent with their prevailing motivational patterns.

		The extrinsic motives expressed by the weaker pupils (Normal) were matched by their choice of rote learning methods and the dependence on teachers' notes and past examination questions.

		Students using a combination of deep and achieving approaches are likely to be intrinsically motivated, to have positive feelings about the learning task and to develop an understanding of the structure of the material to be learned through wide reading and the integration of the material into a meaningful personalised framework.
		While students may endorse a variety of motive strategy combinations, and a surface approach may be advantageous to students in some circumstances, deep approaches and deep achieving approaches in particular are likely to be most congruent with the commonly accepted goals of university education.
		This indicates that the mean achieving motive score for the first administration (25.62) was significantly higher than the mean achieving motive score for the second administration (23.05).

	Mathematics and social interests, by Brian Martin
		Mathematical models gain added credibility through the image of mathematics as rational and objective--characteristics associated with masculinity--as opposed to models of reality that are seen as subjective and value-laden.
		Mathematical models are socially significant in two principal ways: as practical applications of mathematics and as legitimations of policies or practices.
		Arguably, the study of nature is the primary motivation for the development of and importance of mathematics, and the 'correctness' of pure mathematics should be judged by its ultimate applicability to the physical world (Kline 1959, 1980).

	Inconsistent Mathematics
		Inconsistent mathematics is the study of the mathematical theories that result when classical mathematical axioms are asserted within the framework of a (non-classical) logic which can tolerate the presence of a contradiction without turning every sentence into a theorem.
		In addition, mathematics has a metalanguage; that is, names for mathematical statements and other parts of syntax, self-reference, proof and truth.
		Gödel's contribution to the philosophy of mathematics was to show that the first three of these can be rigorously expressed in arithmetical theories, albeit in theories which are either inconsistent or incomplete.

		At heart, however, it is quite as deep a motive as either of the others, and it is in fact a profoundly ethical motive as well as a genuinely intellectual one.
		I mention these matters here as examples of the influence of, a motive whose highly technical applications may make it seem to one at a distance hopelessly intellectualistic, but whose relation to the theory of truth is close, just because, as I think, its relation to truly ethical motives is also extremely intimate.
		The novelty of the constructions to which this motive has led,--the break with tradition which the new geometry (for instance) has involved,--such things have even attracted, from a distance, the attention of some of the least exactly trained of the pragmatist thinkers, and have aroused their hasty and uncomprehending sympathy.

	Implementing Mathematics Reform: The Challenges Within (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		For Gina teaching mathematics consisted of "stimulating students' thinking" and "waiting for students to react." For her, teaching was a constant give and take between the teacher and the learners.
		In order for teachers to help students grow mathematically, as it was envisioned by the new curriculum, they needed to have an understanding of the central ideas of mathematics, see relationships among concepts, be able to reason mathematically, and have an elaborated knowledge base that included multiple representation of concepts.
		In fact, the absence of this type of mathematical knowledge was a catalyst in one teacher's reluctance towards the use of the Standards-based program, whereas its presence was the underlying motive for the other teacher's enthusiasm towards using the new curriculum.

		What I mean by saying mathematics is simple is that there is no area of mathematics of which I am aware which could not be learned during or before the secondary school level, if it were conceded to be important enough.
		Ask any baccalaureate degree holder with a major in mathematics what mathematics is. He will not be able to give a sensible answer, no matter how much time he is given.
		I choose first to present a spectacular instance of the separation of mathematics from reality by the consistent abuse of one of its most important concepts -- "function." So important functions are deemed that some mathematicians have recommended that they be made a basis for all mathematics.

		A further motive is to lighten the burden of referees of mathematical papers.
		One can think of a first stage where a person with some mathematical training inserts a number of intermediate steps whenever he feels that further workers along the belt might have trouble, and a second stage where the logical inference rules are supplied and the actual coding is carried out.
		In mathematics we have nothing but the discussion, and even if a mathematical reality would exist, none of it would be stored in or consulted by the machine.

		It was to be expected that the use of symbolism would eventually extend beyond the subject matter of mathematics, to the reasoning used in mathematics.
		However, although he stated mathematical propositions in symbolic form, and seemed to be striving towards a way of transforming assertions by analogy with algebraic equations, he never developed a formal deductive system.
		On meeting Peano at a mathematical congress, Russell was sufficiently impressed to adopt Peano's symbolism in his own foundational investigation of mathematics.

		To say that mathematics is not a science but a "language" ignores the fact that hundreds of journals are devoted to publishing new discoveries in mathematics.
		Obviously in judging publication-worthiness one considers how new discoveries may be relevant to potential future research; one considers esthetics (which for most mathematicians is the main motive for doing mathematics or for learning mathematics).
		Also cited as criticism of adversarial peer review (in lieu of collaboration) is the destructive nature of scientists competing for funding, which is a clear motive for fraud and abuse in any context.

		Mathematics and biology faculty have many opportunities to contribute to curriculum and pedagogy.
		Mathematics teachers often worry that the distinctive nature of mathematics will be lost unless it is taught as a separate subject rather than as part of an integrated interdisciplinary program.
		Mathematics teachers also worry that the context-rich environment of an interdisciplinary course will impede rather than enhance learning since it may be harder for students to sort out the mathematics principles from the surrounding context.

		Appeal to motive is a pattern of argument which consists in challenging a thesis by calling into question the motives of its proposer.
		A common occurrence in appeals to motive is that only the possibility of a motive (however small) is shown, without showing the motive actually existed.
		Indeed, it is often assumed that the mere possibility of motive is evidence enough.
