mathematization

In addition, there is the increasing mathematization of economics.

The mathematization of economics began in earnest in the 19th century.

The mathematization of the second law statement (and of thermodynamics) came later.

Frisch also started lecturing a course on production theory, introducing a mathematization of the subject.

Initially, Maxwell took an agnostic approach in his mathematization of Faraday's theories.

This mathematical quintessence is still not clear to anyone but it has to be discovered and further developed through strict mathematization of Petronijević's ideas.

Cournot's contributions to the mathematization of economics would be neglected for decades, but eventually influenced many of the marginalists.

There can be no significant relation between a hypothesis in our physics and a superficially similar idea in a tradition which never developed the procedures of mathematization and controlled experiment.

Maxwell changed Faraday's phrase of lines of force to tubes of force, when expressing his fluidic assumptions involved in his mathematization of Faraday's theories.

The fundamental one is that as a result of the mathematization of physical science, what importantly occurs in it are equations or formulae of several kinds, propositions to the effect that one set of magnitudes is related in a certain way to another set or sets.

Schram and Caterino (2006) contains a fundamental methodological criticism of rational choice theory for promoting the view that the natural science model is the only appropriate methodology in social science and that political science should follow this model, with its emphasis on quantification and mathematization.

Deirdre McCloskey's 1986 book The Rhetoric of Economics argues that "The Mathematization of Economics Was a Good Idea", but that "economic modernism" took equilibrium model-building and econometrics (especially "existence-theorem" mathematics, and statistical significance) "absurdly" far.

Ibn al-Haytham's mathematization of place rested on several geometric demonstrations, including his study on the sphere and other solids, which showed that the sphere (al-kura) is the largest in magnitude (volumetric) with respect to other geometric solids that have equal surface areas.

That probability and uncertainty are not quite the same thing may be understood by noting that, despite the mathematization of probability in the Enlightenment, mathematical probability theory remains, to this very day, entirely unused in criminal courtrooms, when evaluating the "probability" of the guilt of a suspected criminal.
