, 2000 The simplest Friedmann models, about which astronomers were still arguing in the late nineteen fifties and sixties are dominated by the equation $${{{{\dot S}^2} + c{k^2}} \over {{S^2}}} = {A \over {{S^3}}}$$ in which Sis the scale factor of the universe, a function of the time, A is a positive constant and kis a topological factor which can be ...

Gender, Mathematics, and Science
Educational Researcher, 1989Males have greater access to science and technical fields and greater earning power than females. Many argue that cognitive and psychosocial gender differences explain these career differences. In contrast, evidence from meta-analysis and process analysis indicate that (a) gender differences on cognitive and psychosocial tasks are small and declining,

Mathematical Explanation in Science [PDF]
The British Journal for the Philosophy of Science, 2009 Does mathematics ever play an explanatory role in science? If so then this opens the way for scientific realists to argue for the existence of mathematical entities using inference to the best explanation. Elsewhere I have argued, using a case study involving the primenumbered life cycles of periodical cicadas, that there are examples of indispensable ...

Mathematization in the Sciences
1981The superb pictures of Jupiter and Saturn transmitted back to earth by Pioneer 11 impress me as a marvelous technological achievement. Even more impressive is that this was accomplished without several prior attempts. It is certainly the case that subsystems were tested, and that engineers benefited from their experiences with related systems ...

Mathematics and the New Sciences
2017This article examines the mutual influences between mathematics and the new sciences that emerged in the long seventeenth century, whereby new scientific enterprises fostered the development of new mathematical methods and mathematical developments in turn paved the way for new scientific research.

SCIENCE, SETI, AND MATHEMATICS
2013Mathematics is as much a part of our humanity as music and art. And it is our mathematics that might be understandable, even familiar, to a distant race and might provide the basis for mutual communication. This book discusses, in a conversational way, the role of mathematics in the search for extraterrestrial intelligence.

Meaning in Science and Mathematics
PSA: Proceedings of the Biennial Meeting of the Philosophy of Science Association, 1974Philosophers working in the logical empiricist tradition, such as Rudolf Carnap and Carl Hempel, have held that theoretical terms get their meanings from their connections with observational terms in the postulates of scientific theories. They have tried to explain exactly how this happens, in the sense of giving a logical reconstruction of it.
