چکیده
ABSTRACT: We provide an outline of a college-level lecture on systems of differential equations that is intended to offer an alternative, integrative view of the subject. Particular emphasis is placed on the fact that very elementary concepts and insights can be employed to gain access to a very wide range of important applications, including the Schrödinger equation, the Klein-Gordon equation, the Laplace equation, and the Poisson equation.

These direct interventions are usually called miracles. Modern Western philosophy, at least starting from Spinoza and Hume, has defined miracles as “violations of the laws of natur...
متن کاملThe Falicov-kimball Model, Effective Interaction
The effective interaction between the static particles in the Falicov-Kimball model is studied, for large values of the coupling constant, using a convergent cluster expansion. This text, presented at conference on “Advanced Topics in Applied Mathematics and Theoretical Physics”, Marseille, June 1994, was written for the proceedings that eventually were not published. However, see Refs. 11–14.

متن کاملThe Miracle of Applied Mathematics 1. the Unreasonable Effectiveness of Mathematics
Mathematics has a great variety of applications in the physical sciences. This simple, undeniable fact, however, gives rise to an interesting philosophical problem: why should physical scientists find that they are unable to even state their theories without the resources of abstract mathematical theories? Moreover, the formulation of physical theories in the language of mathematics often leads...
