Can Mathematics Explain Physical Phenomena?
Batterman ([2010]) raises a number of concerns for the inferential conception of the applicability of mathematics advocated by Bueno and Colyvan ([2011]). Here, we distinguish the various concerns, and indicate how they can be assuaged by paying attention to the nature of the mappings involved and emphasizing the significance of interpretation in this context. We also indicate how this concepti...
متن کاملMathematical Explanation of Physical Phenomena: A Step Toward Pluralism?
A traditional trend toward scientific explanation aimed to provide a single account of the nature of explanation. On the other hand, a recent attitude toward mathematical explanations of physical phenomena is to go ‘pluralist’ and consider that what makes something a good explanation can vary from case to case, i.e. there are different kinds of explanation which cannot be captured through a sin...
متن کاملAre there Genuine Mathematical Explana - tions of Physical Phenomena ?
Many explanations in science make use of mathematics. But are there cases where the mathematical component of a scientific explanation is explanatory in its own right? This issue of mathematical explanations in science has been for the most part neglected. I argue that there are genuine mathematical explanations in science, and present in some detail an example of such an explanation, taken fro...
متن کاملThe Connection between Chemical and Physical Phenomena
On the preceding pages it was shown that the movement of molecules can produce physical phenomena. Thus sound comes about through the oscillation of the molecules in solid, liquid or gaseous objects, and it continues in these substances until it reaches our ear. And heat and light are nothing other than an extremely rapid oscillation of molecules that continues through the world ether until it ...
متن کاملDecoherence and the establishment of physical phenomena
We show, using various examples, that the decoherence and " physicalization " of an unencountered-before phenomena proceeds through the same stages of computer simulation and that one may use the known procedure of the latter in order to learn about the former. We use the example of programming and webmastering Internet websites that refer to known physical phenomena such as the harmonic oscill...
