There should also be a place for verbal speculation that can only be partially mathematized. ❋ Unknown (2009)
Risk management is thus a mathematized procedure for seeing into the future. ❋ Unknown (2009)
So if there is so much guessing and inability to describe or predict in areas such as monetary theory or energy or trade imbalances or yield curves or other areas in which economists have a strong handle on what is going on, why would anyone want to waste too much time on topics that are not going to be mathematized. ❋ Unknown (2009)
In Aristotle's system, physics was not mathematized although causal reasonings were proper to it. ❋ Mancosu, Paolo (2008)
As an episode within the centuries-long effort to systematize color as a way to understand and control it, the development of Mayer's color triangle highlights the constraints produced by materials, the limits of mathematized descriptions, and the relationship of those limitations to representation and understanding of color. ❋ Unknown (2006)
As far as I know, it's becoming increasingly mathematized and irrelevant in an effort to emulate economics - and all the equations and indexes regarding political coalitions, voters' behaviour, MP's voting and so on and on are actually more irrelevant than in economics science, basically, there are no "political laws" in political science, if there is a science as political sciences want it to be. ❋ Unknown (2008)
When examined together, Mayer's triangle and its later variations offer an excellent example of the eighteenth-century effort to create a unified, mathematized description of colors and to extend the value of this description into artisan worlds. ❋ Unknown (2006)
Combination had become, since the sixteenth century, an increasingly mathematized concept, often expressed as the likelihood of attraction or affinity between substances. ❋ Unknown (2006)
Lambert's engagement with Newton in the design of his color system began with Newton's mathematized approach. ❋ Unknown (2006)
Science does not rest upon axioms except insofar as science is mathematized and dependent upon axioms in this manner, Carol. ❋ Unknown (2006)
As models of this kind are often closely tied to mathematized sciences, they are sometimes also referred to as ❋ Frigg, Roman (2006)
The marginalists—Jevons, Menger, Walras—answered almost immediately with the easily mathematized concepts of marginal utility and equilibrium analysis, in which all elements are kept in place by mutual counterpoise and interaction, that inform our view of economics down to the present day. ❋ David Warsh (1993)
Robert Mundell mathematized the study of the international macro-economics, Robert Baldwin empiricized the results of protectionism, but it was Bhagwati along with Anne Krueger who helped restore the politics to political economy, by focusing attention on the myriad forms of “directly unproductive activity” in which businessmen and politicians team up to squeeze a little extra out of the generally-unsuspecting consumer. ❋ David Warsh (1993)
Against this background, it was natural that people would begin seeing what analogies there were between gambling, an area where decision and argument was very easily mathematized, and other areas. ❋ Unknown (2005)
Evelyn Hutchinson, born British but latterly fetched up at Yale, had started to bring a modestly mathematized style of ecology into conjunction with those other elements. ❋ David Quammen (2004)
The issue is whether various efforts in that direction cause distortion of the social phenomena, or lead to the neglect of some that are not easily mathematized and the preference for others that are; or whether they encourage the construction of mathematical models that are figments of the imagination and have nothing to do with the real world. ❋ Allan Bloom (2003)
Economics, held to be the most successful of the social sciences, is the most mathematized—both in the sense that its objects can be counted and that it can construct mathematical models for at least hypothetically predictive purposes. ❋ Allan Bloom (2003)
