Chris Pincock, Mathematics and Scientific Change
Time: 5 p.m.
Event Host: Arts and Humanities
Short Description: Mathematics is a central part of scientific activity and seems to be responsible for many of the successful aspects of science.
Mathematics is a central part of scientific activity and seems to be responsible for many of the successful aspects of science. This talk considers a few of the ways that the scientific use of mathematics has changed over time. These changes exhibit an increasing awareness of how mathematized science can attain knowledge of a mind-independent reality, even concerning what is remote from experimental testing. Chris Pincock argues that this sort of reflection gives us a good reason to be optimistic about the long-term prospects for supplementing and correcting our scientific accounts of the natural world. RSVP.Reception will accompany each lecture. Free and open to the public.List of 2015-2016 lectures.
