I asked the internet for a critique of mathematics as being applied to all science. I might have gotten a bit more than I bargained for. The Pernicious Influence of Mathematics on Science | Schwartz, J. (2006) https://t.co/gxvViJdis9 https://t.co/0Vhn87O
I leave some links for the ones interested in learning more: https://t.co/8n2ejxxH3R https://t.co/EaRpsXuQEC this is also a nice book: https://t.co/8R861gAqRF And to disappoint you, MATH IS REAL AND YOU HAVE TO LEARN IT! :)))))
I’d also recommend his earlier collection, 18 Unconventional Essays on the Nature of Mathematics (2006)—and not just because Reuben was kind enough to include one of my earliest papers in philosophy of maths! https://t.co/JAsOIcywjI
