Mathematical Perspectives

چکیده
Mathematics and physics are different enterprises: physics is looking for laws of nature, mathematics is trying to invent the structures and prove the theorems of mathematics. Of course these structures are not invented out of thin air but are linked, among other things, to physics. In this lecture I shall discuss a number of instances where mathematicians have come to the aid of physics and striking examples where physicists have suggested new problems and new subjects for mathematical investigations. Many of these have a bearing on the real world. The relation of mathematics and physics is a natural topic for a Gibbs Lecture; at least two previous lectures, by Freeman Dyson and by Edward Witten, were devoted to it. I start with five famous quotes:

Rethinking of the Mathematical and Architectural Relation from the Perspective of the Algorithm
So far, many scholars have spoken of mathematical and architectural mergers. Different perspectives in this regard suggest that there are two general approaches paraphrastic and historians in most of these studies. But what has not been said about this aspect is common mental practices in mathematical science and architecture knowledge that affects the work of mathematicians and past architects...

متن کاملRole of mathematical concepts in cancer research.
The role of mathematics in cancer research is not confined to epidemiology (population level). The expected contribution of it in various levels is exemplified stepwise. At the individual level, prediction of life expectancy of a cancer case or psychological analysis of life-threatened patient; at the tissue level, stochastic estimation of future metastases; at the cellular level, model contruc...
متن کاملPerspectives on Preference Aggregation.
For centuries, the mathematical aggregation of preferences by groups, organizations, or society itself has received keen interdisciplinary attention. Extensive theoretical work in economics and political science throughout the second half of the 20th century has highlighted the idea that competing notions of rational social choice intrinsically contradict each other. This has led some researche...
