5. The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Physics in Mathematics.

Author

Molinini, Daniele

Subjects
*MATHEMATICAL physics, *PHILOSOPHERS
Abstract

The philosophical problem that stems from the successful application of mathematics in the empirical sciences has recently attracted growing interest within philosophers of mathematics and philosophers of science. Nevertheless, little attention has been devoted to the converse applicability issue of how physical considerations find successful application in mathematics. In this article, focusing on some case studies, I address the latter issue and argue that some successful applications of physics to mathematics essentially depend on the use of conservation principles. I conclude with a short discussion of how the successful interplay between conservation principles and mathematics can be accounted for. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

The topic of mathematical explanation, although subjected to philosophical analysis since Aristotle, has recently assumed a key role in the contemporary debate in philosophy of science and philosophy of mathematics. The aim of the present paper is to offer a survey of the topic. First, we will divide the analysis of mathematical explanation into the two areas of investigation that distinguish his study (mathematical explanation in the empirical sciences and mathematical explanation in mathematics, respectively). Secondly, we will present some of the main philosophical positions that have been developed to capture the notion of mathematical explanation, trying to identify some criteria or characterizations that have been proposed in the current debate. Finally, we show how the study of mathematical explanation interests philosophical debates that concern different areas of philosophy of science and philosophy of mathematics. Il concetto di spiegazione matematica, benché sottoposto ad analisi filosofica fin dai tempi di Aristotele, ha recentemente assunto un ruolo chiave nel dibattito filosofico contemporaneo in filosofia della scienza e in filosofia della matematica. In quest’articolo introdurremo le linee generali della questione, dividendo innanzitutto l’analisi della spiegazione matematica nelle due aree principali che contraddistinguono il suo studio (spiegazione matematica nelle scienze empiriche e spiegazione matematica in matematica, rispettivamente). Illustreremo poi alcune tra le principali posizioni filosofiche che sono state sviluppate per catturare questa nozione, cercando di identificare alcuni criteri o caratterizzazioni tipiche della spiegazione matematica che sono state proposte nel dibattito contemporaneo. Infine mostreremo come lo studio della spiegazione matematica interessi dibattiti filosofici che riguardano aree diverse della filosofia della scienza e della filosofia della matematica.

23. Using Mathematics to Explain a Scientific Theory.

Author

Friend, Michèle and Molinini, Daniele

Subjects
*MATHEMATICS, *GENERAL relativity (Physics), *THEORY, *MATHEMATICAL models
Abstract

We answer three questions: 1. Can we give a wholly mathematical explanation of a physical phenomenon? 2. Can we give a wholly mathematical explanation for a whole physical theory? 3. What is gained or lost in giving a wholly, or partially, mathematical explanation of a phenomenon or a scientific theory? To answer these questions we look at a project developed by Hajnal Andréka, Judit Madarász, István Németi and Gergely Székely. They, together with collaborators, present special relativity theory in a three-sorted first-order formal language. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

25. Prediction of Structurally-Determined Coiled-Coil Domains with Hidden Markov Models.

Author

Abstract

The coiled-coil protein domain is a widespread structural motif known to be involved in a wealth of key interactions in cells and organisms. Coiled-coil recognition and prediction of their location in a protein sequence are important steps for modeling protein structure and function. Nowadays, thanks to the increasing number of experimentally determined protein structures, a significant number of coiled-coil protein domains is available. This enables the development of methods suited to predict the coiled-coil structural motifs starting from the protein sequence. Several methods have been developed to predict classical heptads using manually annotated coiled-coil domains. In this paper we focus on the prediction structurally-determined coiled-coil segments. We introduce a new method based on hidden Markov models that complement the existing methods and outperforms them in the task of locating structurally-defined coiled-coil segments.

26. The First Sicilian School of Translators.

Author

MOLININI, Daniele

Subjects
*TRANSLATING & interpreting -- History, *TRAINING of translators, HISTORY of Sicily, Italy, 1016-1194
Abstract

Norman Sicily of King Roger II (1095-1154) and William I (1125- 1166) represents an essential bridge for the transmission of classical heritage and Arab knowledge. In this paper we want to focus on this movement of transmission, stress the differences towards the Spanish case and show who the main actors were and in what consists the originality of the First Sicilian School of Translators.
