SCIENCE STUDIES EVENTS
SOME ISSUES REGARDING DEFINITIONS IN
MATHEMATICS AND PHYSICS
Adonai Sant'Anna
Department of Mathematics
Federal University of Paraná, Brazil
April 12, 2005
Tuesday, 12:30pm-2:00pm
Sumwalt College, Room 102
We will make a brief review of some theories of definition in physics and
mathematics, with special emphasis on applications and open problems. From
the formal point of view, we show, for example, that there are many
superfluous concepts in most of the standard physical and mathematical
theories. We intend to make a critical analysis about this and suggest some
ideas for future research.
