The apprehension of this purely ideal character is indispensable if we are to understand rightly the place of mathematics as one among the arts. It was formerly supposed that pure reason could decide in some respects as to the nature of the actual world: geometry, at least, was thought to deal with the space in which we live. But we now know that pure mathematics can never pronounce upon the questions of actual existence: the world of reason, in a sense, controls the world of facts, but it is not at any point creative of fact, and in the application of its results to the world in time and space, its certainty and precision are lost among approximations and working hypotheses. The objects considered by mathematicians have, in the past, been mainly of a kind suggested by phenomena; but from such restrictions, the abstract imagination should be wholly free. A reciprocal liberty must be accorded; reason cannot dictate to the world of facts, but the fact cannot restrict reason’s privilege of dealing with whatever objects its love of beauty may cause to seem worthy of consideration. Here, as elsewhere, we build up our ideals out of the fragments to be found in the world; and in the end, it is hard to say whether the result is a creation or a discovery. 41. With which of the following would the author agree? I. Mankind relies on mathematics for its very existence. II. Geometry was believed to deal with space in which we live. III. The world of reason has no control over the world of fact. (a) Only I (b) I and III (c) Only III (d) I and II 42. What does ‘indispensable’ mean? (a) Cannot be cured (b) Cannot be curtailed (c) Cannot be evaded (d) Cannot bear it 43. When the results of pure mathematics are applied to the universe of existing things, (a) its findings no longer have complete certainty and preciseness. (b) mathematics ceases to be a science. (c) the abstract imagination of the mathematicians is free of restrictions. (d) the nature of the actual world stands revealed. 44. According to Russell, ‘a reciprocal liberty’ must be obtained between (a) mathematics and applied science. (b) reason and facts. (c) mathematical objects and objects created by abstract imagination. (d) the study of pure mathematics and an application of its results. 45. The end-product of mathematics (a) is a statement of what was previously unknown. (b) is a creation of what did not exist earlier. (c) is a discovery of previously unknown object. (d) could possibly be either a creation or a discovery. Direction for questions 46 to 50: Read the passage, and answer the questions following it. One of the greatest public speaking failures of my career took place last summer at Valparaiso University, Indiana where I addressed a convention of editors of college newspapers. I said many screamingly funny things but the applause was dismal at the end. During the evening, I asked one of my hosts in what way I had offended the audience. He replied that they had hoped I would moralize. They had hired me as a moralist. So now when I speak to students, I do moralize. I tell them not to take more than they need, not to be greedy. I tell them not to kill, even in self-defence. I tell them not to pollute water or the atmosphere. I tell them not to raid the public treasury. I tell them not to commit war crimes or to help others to commit war crimes. These morals go over very well. They are of course echoes of what the young say to themselves. I had a friend from Schenectady visited me recently, and he asked me this, “Why are fewer and fewer young Americans going into science each year?” I hold him that the young were impressed by the war crimes trials at Nuremberg. They were afraid that careers in science could all too easily lead to the commission of war crimes. They don’t want to work on the development of new weapons. They don’t want to make discoveries which will lead to improved weapons. They don’t want to work for corporations that pollute water or atmosphere or raid the public treasury. So they go into other fields. They become physicists who are so virtuous that they don’t go into physics at all. At the University of Michigan, at Ann Arbor, the students have been raising hell about the university doing secret government work. I go to talk with some of the students about the protests that had been made against the recruiters of Dow Chemicals, manufacturers of napalm among other things. I offered the opinion that an attack on a Dow recruiter was about as significant as an attack on the doorman or theatre usher. I didn’t think the recruiter stood for anything. I called attention to the fact that during the Dow protest at Harvard a couple of years back, the actual inventor of napalm was able to circulate through the crowd of protestors unmolested. I didn’t find the fact that he was unmolested reprehensible. I saw it as a moral curiosity. Though I did not mean to suggest to the students at Ann Arbor that the inventor of napalm should have been given one hell of a time. 46. In this address at Valparaiso University, the author (a) became the greatest public speaker of the summer. (b) made the audience laugh a lot by screaming in a funny way. (c) was dismayed by the audience at the end. (d) felt that he did make a significant impression on the audience. 47. Moralists are (a) young people who speak to themselves about water and atmospheric pollution. (b) not fond of jokes made of sacrosanct things. (c) opposed to taking up science as a career. (d) concerned about hiring working to raid the public treasury. 48. The author’s perception is that young people (a) like to hear lectures on morals. (b) were so impressed by the Nuremberg trials that they gave up physics. (c) would have been scientists but for the pollution created by science. (d) do not like to kill even in self-defence. 49. The author regarded the inventor of napalm as (a) morally reprehensible. (b) someone who should have been attacked but was not. (c) a person who was attacked by Harvard students. (d) a moral curiosity. 50. It is implied from the author’s comments that the present-day students (a) do not care much for scientific discoveries. (b) prefer to be told what is right or wrong. (c) lack a sense of discipline. (d) lack a sense of humour. more AIMA MAT Model Question Paper detail attached a pdf file; |
