When friend, URI math teacher, Bill Briden, and I discussed Bishop Berkeley 's Calculus conundrum of " the ghosts of departed quantities "

Last time I talked mathematics with friend Bill Briden, then teaching at URI , it was about Bishop Berkeley 's puzzle over Calculus as dealing with " the ghosts of departed quantities " : Image result for Bishop Berkeley on calculus , ghosts of departed quantities [“The ghosts of departed quantities” is a phrase that both haunts and amuses students of the history of calculus. It was conceived by Bishop George Berkeley of the Church of England (1685-1753) in his attack on the logical foundations of Newton's calculus in a pamphlet entitled The Analyst (1734).Aug 3, 2015 ] On some nonautonomous difference equations of the Max type Author: William James Briden Publication: Dissertations and Master's Theses (Campus Access) On some nonautonomous difference equations of the Max type DIGITALCOMMONS.URI.EDU On some nonautonomous difference equations of the Max type We obtain conditions of boundedness, periodicity and eventual periodicity for several nonautonomous difference equations of the Max type.
