The role of mathematics in the sciences and engineering can be
controversial. Here are three pieces of writing that present three
somewhat similar points of view: The statistician G. E. P. Box on 'mathematistry':
'Science and statistics'.
The mathematician V. I. Arnold on what constitutes good mathematics:
'On teaching mathematics'.
The physicist and Bayesian E. T. Jaynes on mathematics in probability
theory: 'Mathematical formalities
and style'. |
