Engineering Mathematics

The work of engineers surrounds us: from the phones in our pockets to the layout of our cities. These days, engineers even transport some of us to the moon. But the skills that brought the world clean water and telecommunications also produced polluting technologies that could threaten its future. Engineering explores the scientific, social, and philosophical implications inherent in the challenges faced by engineers throughout history. Here, McCarthy presents a future in which engineering is crucial.

The techniques of Vedic Mathematics have helped millions of students all over the world get rid of their fear of numbers and improve their scores in quantitative subjects.

We can learn many things from models. Scientists use models to test their ideas. Listeners will learn about the importance of making predictions, testing ideas, collecting data, and more.

Numeri, figure geometriche e relazioni matematiche sono dovunque attorno a noi, talvolta in forma evidente, più spesso annidati nei meccanismi di funzionamento dell'universo. Ma in che modo - e perché - queste creazioni astratte della mente umana riescono a descrivere il mondo concreto dei fenomeni naturali, da quelli più familiari a quelli che hanno luogo nelle profondità della materia e del cosmo? Un filosofo e uno scienziato esplorano la capillare presenza della matematica nella natura, raccontando alcune delle sue manifestazioni più curiose e affascinanti.

Why does mathematics—a creation of the human mind—describe the physical world with such extraordinary precision? Why do equations invented for one purpose turn out, decades or centuries later, to be the perfect language for a completely different realm of nature? In 1960, the Nobel laureate Eugene Wigner called this correspondence a 'gift we neither understand nor deserve.' The question has haunted science ever since. In this book, Boris Kriger proposes an answer that is at once simple and profound: mathematics describes the world because only the mathematically structured survives.
