The book is divided into two parts. The first part gives a brief history of how mathematics was introduced into physicsdespite its "unreasonable effectiveness" as famously pointed out by a distinguished physicistand the criticisms it received from earlier thinkers. The second part takes a more philosophical approach and is intended to shed some light on that mysterious effectiveness. For this purpose, the author reviews the debate between classical philosophers on the existence of innate ideas that allow us to understand the world and also the philosophically based arguments for and against the use of mathematics in physical sciences. In this context, Schopenhauers conceptions of causality and matter are very pertinent, and their validity is revisited in light of modern physics. The final question addressed is whether the effectiveness of mathematics can be explained by its existence in an independent platonic realm, as Gdel believed. The book aims at readers interested in the history and philosophy of physics. It is accessible to those with only a very basic (not professional) knowledge of physics. 001461362 588__ $$aDescription based on print version record. 001461362 650_0 $$aMathematical physics. 001461362 650_0 $$aMathematical physics$$xHistory. 001461362 650_0 $$aPhysics$$xPhilosophy. 001461362 655_0 $$aElectronic books. 001461362 655_7 $$aHistory.$$2fast$$0(OCoLC)fst01411628 001461362 77608 $$iPrint version:$$aHacyan, Shahen.$$tMathematical representation of physical reality.$$dCham : Springer Nature Switzerland, 2023$$z9783031212536$$w(OCoLC)1370615946 001461362 830_0 $$aFrontiers collection. 001461362 852__ $$bebk 001461362 85640 $$3Springer Nature$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-3-031-21254-3$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 001461362 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:1461362$$pGLOBAL_SET 001461362 980__ $$aBIB 001461362 980__ $$aEBOOK 001461362 982__ $$aEbook 001461362 983__ $$aOnline 001461362 994__ $$a92$$bISE
