    Bridges through Data

    Redigert av Bharath Sriraman ...
    Serie serien Reference Module Computer Science and Engineering
    This Handbook examines the interaction of visual, computational and experimental approaches in modern mathematics through its interaction with data. Experimental mathematics made the first bold foray into using computational techniques to solve theoretical problems via data saturation and visualizations. Since computing power and powerful algorithms have changed the landscape of visualizing and ... Les mer

  • Aristotle's Revenge

    The Metaphysical Foundations of Physical and Biological Science

    av Edward Feser ...
    Actuality and potentiality, substantial form and prime matter, efficient causality and teleology are among the fundamental concepts of Aristotelian philosophy of nature. Aristotle's Revenge argues that these concepts are not only compatible with modern science, but are implicitly presupposed by modern science. Among the many topics covered are the metaphysical presuppositions of scientific method; ... Les mer

    The Logic of Mathematical Discovery

    av Imre Lakatos ...
    Serie serien Cambridge Philosophy Classics
    Imre Lakatos's Proofs and Refutations is an enduring classic, which has never lost its relevance. Taking the form of a dialogue between a teacher and some students, the book considers various solutions to mathematical problems and, in the process, raises important questions about the nature of mathematical discovery and methodology. Lakatos shows that mathematics grows through a process of ... Les mer

  • Why Is There Philosophy of Mathematics At All?

    av Ian Hacking ...
    This truly philosophical book takes us back to fundamentals - the sheer experience of proof, and the enigmatic relation of mathematics to nature. It asks unexpected questions, such as 'what makes mathematics mathematics?', 'where did proof come from and how did it evolve?', and 'how did the distinction between pure and applied mathematics come into being?' In a wide-ranging discussion that is both ... Les mer

  • The Mathematics of the Gods and the Algorithms of Men

    A Cultural History

    av Paolo Zellini ...
    Is mathematics a discovery or an invention? Do numbers truly exist? What sort of reality do formulas describe?The complexity of mathematics - its abstract rules and obscure symbols - can seem very distant from the everyday. There are those things that are real and present, it is supposed, and then there are mathematical concepts: creations of our mind, mysterious tools for those unengaged with the ... Les mer

  • The Real Numbers

    An Introduction to Set Theory and Analysis

    av John Stillwell ...
    Serie serien Mathematics and Statistics (R0)
    While most texts on real analysis are content to assume the real numbers, or to treat them only briefly, this text makes a serious study of the real number system and the issues it brings to light. Analysis needs the real numbers to model the line, and to support the concepts of continuity and measure. But these seemingly simple requirements lead to deep issues of set theory—uncountability, the ... Les mer

  • Scientific Representation

    Paradoxes of Perspective

    av Bas C. van Fraassen ...
    Bas C. van Fraassen presents an original exploration of how we represent the world. Science represents natural phenomena by means of theories, as well as in many concrete ways by such means as pictures, graphs, table-top models, and computer simulations. Scientific Representation begins with an inquiry into the nature of representation in general, drawing on such diverse sources as Plato's ... Les mer

  • Interpreting Gödel

    Critical Essays

    Redigert av Juliette Kennedy ...
    The logician Kurt Gödel (1906–1978) published a paper in 1931 formulating what have come to be known as his 'incompleteness theorems', which prove, among other things, that within any formal system with resources sufficient to code arithmetic, questions exist which are neither provable nor disprovable on the basis of the axioms which define the system. These are among the most celebrated results ... Les mer
