The Chicken or the Egg? The Direction of the Relationship Between Mathematics Anxiety and Mathematics Performance

Emma Carey, Francesca Hill, Amy Devine, Dénes Szűcs • Frontiers in Psychology (2016)

This review considers the two possible causal directions between mathematics anxiety (MA) and poor mathematics performance. Either poor maths performance may elicit MA (referred to as the Deficit Theory), or MA may reduce future maths perfo...

A Mathematical Theory of Evidence

Glenn R. Shafer • Princeton University Press eBooks (2020)

Both in science and in practical affairs we reason by combining facts only inconclusively supported by evidence. Building on an abstract understanding of this process of combination, this book constructs a new theory of epistemic probabilit...

Naturalism in Mathematics

Penelope Maddy (2000)

Abstract It is well known that certain natural statements of set theory, like Cantor's continuum hypothesis (CH), cannot be proved or disproved on the basis of the standard axioms (Zermelo–Fraenkel with Choice or ZFC). Some philosophers tak...

Determinantal Sieving

Eduard Eiben, Tomohiro Koana, Magnus Wahlström • TheoretiCS (2025)

We introduce determinantal sieving, a new, remarkably powerful tool in the toolbox of algebraic FPT algorithms. Given a polynomial $P(X)$ on a set of variables $X=\{x_1,\ldots,x_n\}$ and a linear matroid $M=(X,\mathcal{I})$ of rank $k$, bot...
