Sinossi
Perché il Numero, forse la nozione più astratta creata dalla mente umana, risulta così efficace nella descrizione della realtà? In questo breve e prezioso saggio Wigner indaga le ragioni profonde, e tuttora misteriose, che rendono possibile la conoscenza della natura attraverso il linguaggio della matematica.

The Grapes of Math The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Mathematics is a brief but classic essay and fascinating epistemological inquiry written in 1960 by the Nobel prize-winning physicist and mathematician Eugene Wigner. In it, Wigner considers one of the most perplexing riddles in modern epistemology Leggi tutto
This brief essay asks why math proves so effective for describing / codifying physical laws, and whether our physical theories -- built on (phenomenally successful) mathematics -- offer the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. There’s a popular story in which a drunk man is found on hi Leggi tutto
The miracle of the appropriateness of the language of mathematics for the formulation of the laws of physics is a wonderful gift which we neither understand nor deserve. The question popped into my mind while trolling a New Atheist on his Wordpress blog. What is the relation between mathematics
I was kinda disappointed. He didn’t really make a clear point but the examples were chill.

Questo breve discorso verte sull’efficacia della matematica nel predire e descrivere i fenomeni naturali (come dice il titolo d’altronde). La domanda principale che si pone l’autore è se ci sia una qualsiasi ragione dietro a tale efficacia, dato che la matematica sembra essere, per quel che si sa, u Leggi tutto
Fascinating but fairly densely written. I really couldn’t explain this in any depth to someone - will need to track down a summary for people of normal intelligence. “The first point is that the enormous usefulness of mathematics in the natural sciences is something bordering on the mysterious and th Leggi tutto
Wigner delving into the interlinking of mathematics and physics and how it affects our very understanding of everything - every law; every thing we know to be true - really plunged me into a world of speculation. He goes incredibly philosophical in some elements of his arguments and attempts to prop Leggi tutto
