Should we think physically and then add the mathematics apt to formalise our physical intuition, or should we think mathematically and then interpret physically the obtained results? Do we get mathematical objects by abstraction from real objects, or vice versa? Why is mathematics effective into physics?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThese are all relevant questions, whose answers are necessary to fully understand the status of physics, particularly of contemporary physics. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe aim of this book is to offer plausible answers to such questions through both historical analyses of relevant cases, and philosophical analyses of the relations between mathematics and physics.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Giovanni Boniolo\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9048167949\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789048167944\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/06\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 244\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.54d","brand":"Giovanni Boniolo","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48487130202367,"sku":"9789048167944","price":109.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_478dc86c-df9f-4663-81cf-412650581570.jpg?v=1778058542","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-role-of-mathematics-in-giovanni-boniolo-9789048167944","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
