16. Gud för oss : Om den non-metafysiska realismen och dess konsekvenser för religionsfilosofins uppgift och natur
Sammanfattning : The question this study seeks to answer is whether a rejection of metaphysical realism implies that it is impossible for us to make statements about an independent reality that we share with one another, statements that may be evidence-transcendent truths.

The second line of argument states that music is always ideological because it influences the listener affectively. LÄS MER
20. Subspace Computations via Matrix Decompositions and Geometric Optimization
Sammanfattning : This thesis is concerned with the computation of certain subspaces connected to a given matrix, where the closely related problem of approximating the matrix with one of lower rank is given special attention. To determine the rank and obtain bases for fundamental subspaces such as the range and null space of a matrix, computing the singular value decomposition (SVD) is the standard method. LÄS MER
