In the present article two possible meanings of the term "mathematical structure" are discussed: a formal and a nonformal one. It is claimed that contemporary mathematics is structural only in the ...

It may be worth winding the clock back to 1960, when the physicist Eugene Wigner published an article with the title “The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Mathematics in the Natural Sciences”. Physics ...

Mathematical logic provides a rigorous framework for analysing the structure of mathematical reasoning, enabling a deep understanding of both formal systems and the nature of proofs. Central to this ...

Using a contextual method the specific development of logic between c. 1830 and 1930 is explained. A characteristic mark of this period is the decomposition of the complex traditional philosophical ...

The interplay between algebraic structures and fuzzy logic has fostered significant advancements in both theoretical research and practical applications. Algebraic structures provide a rigorous ...

Wake up in the morning and stretch; your midsection narrows. Pull on a rubber band and it becomes thinner. One might assume that materials will always stretch and thin. Wrong. Thanks to their peculiar ...

The same mathematical logic, say the researchers, is found in the formation of DNA—the deoxyribonucleic acid whose cells carry the genes and all instructions for development and survival of living ...

A newly-developed mathematical method can detect geometric structure in neural activity in the brain. The method is a first step toward developing a new mathematical toolkit to uncover the structure ...
