There appears to be some confusion among the non-mathematicians regarding the very nature of #mathematics - it's not a #language as many within #science #engineering #philosophy etc. sometimes like to assert (believe). #foodForThought #thinkDifferently lnkd.in/edrQCXxQ

"The Unreasonable Effectiveness of #Mathematics" is a short 4-mins clip from a much longer (90-mins) panel discussion that "explores #Gödel’s discovery and examines the wider implications of his revolutionary finding. Participants include #mathematician…lnkd.in/ePmtycpC

" I would like to make a number of remarks on the relation of #mathematics and #physics .  The first is that the #mathematicians only are dealing with the #structure of the #reasoning " — Richard Feynman I will share the link to this 10-mins video in th…lnkd.in/exav7j2z

Gottfried Leibniz was the instigator of a field of study that went beyond classical #logic ... Some 200 years later, the #mathematician David Hilbert would instigate a field of study called #metaMathematics - which attracted intellectuals such as, Kurt…lnkd.in/eZxXEeNd

In 1978, Dr. Leslie Lamport wrote: The origin of this paper was the note "The Maintenance of Duplicate #Databases " by Paul Johnson & Bob Thomas. I believe their note introduced the idea of using #message #timestamps in a #distributed #algorithm . I h…lnkd.in/ggZB468r

"For people who want to be #programmers or #systemBuilders , what I would advise is to learn as much #math as they can.  Not as much math in the sense of topics of mathematics like esoteric math, but to develop a facility with #mathematicalThinking .  B…lnkd.in/eRGnCXin

I recently had a dialogue with a colleague regarding XEROX Parc, and I mentioned the work of the (late) Prof. Doug Engelbart. During our dialogue it became clear that many today have probably not even heard of #DougEngelbart - let alone be aware of his s…lnkd.in/e_Mb275A

Today, there's much discussion regarding the integrity of scientific publications regarding #Alzheimer's disease, which reminded me of what occurred in 2019: "Recently the 430 abstracts submitted for the 6th World Conference on Research Integrity (WCRI)…lnkd.in/eP8x-aNS
