Mathematics in Science: The Role of the History of Science in Communicating the Significance of Mathematical Formalism in Science.

Peer reviewed

de Berg, Kevin C. – Science and Education, 1992

Discusses the use of a historical profile for illustrating the significance of the mathematical components of scientific laws. Addresses the need for the purposive use of scientific laws rather than the blind substitutionary procedures characteristic of most problem solvers. Claims the approach has the potential for increasing female participation…
