Unification and mathematical explanation

Abstract This paper provides a sorely-needed evaluation of the view that mathematical explanations in science explain by unifying. Illustrating with some novel examples, I argue is misguided. For believers science, my discussion rules out one way spelling how they work, bringing us step closer to right way. non-believers, it contributes divide-and-conquer strategy for showing there are no such science. My also undermines appeal unifying power support enhanced indispensability argument.
