Interactions Mathematics, Physics and Philosophy, 1860-1930

The main theme of this anthology is the unique interaction between mathematics, physics and philosophy during the beginning of the 20th century. Seminal theories of modern physics and new fundamental mathematical structures were discovered or formed in this period. Significant physicists such as Lorentz and Einstein as well as mathematicians such as Poincaré, Minkowski, Hilbert and Weyl contributed to this development. They created the new physical theories and the mathematical disciplines that play such paramount roles in their mathematical formulations. These physicists and mathematicians were also key figures in the philosophical discussions of nature and science ' from philosophical tendencies like logical empiricism via critical rationalism to various neo-Kantian trends.Hendricks, Vincent F. is the author of 'Interactions Mathematics, Physics and Philosophy, 1860-1930', published 2007 under ISBN 9781402051944 and ISBN 1402051948.
