The people telling these stories were mathematics students, many of whom had no public speaking, science communication or teaching experience at the start of the project. Two of these writers, Karl Popper and Thomas Kuhn, in the view of the I shall certainly admit a system as empirical or scientific only if it is capable of being tested by experience. So the question is: what is being simulated? Strands 1 and 2 have been reviewed in light of the experience of the initial 24 schools since September 2008. Math is bogus, and used by science to make . All five strands have been completed by the NCCA's mathematics committees. Hofstadter is not inimical to mathematics as the lingua franca of science, which we think is detrimental to human thought, and a contrivance that is unreal, a concoction that gives scientists a mantle of authority that it doesn't really deserve. Should a flight simulator try to simulate the experience of flight, or simulate the mathematics of instrumentation? Why sing the praises of a mathematical idea when, in the real world, no logical person would choose to use it to solve a problem? In the field most commonly known as “postmodern science studies” or, more specifically, “postmodern philosophy of science,” scholars attempt to critique science and mathematics from a high-level perspective. This idea appeared again when reading The Mathematical Experience by Philip J.
