Category theory was invented in the 1940s to unify and synthesize different areas in mathematics, and it has proven remarkably successful in enabling powerful communication between disparate fields and subfields within mathematics. This book shows that category theory can be use…

An introduction to category theory as a rigorous, flexible, and coherent modeling language that can be used across the sciences.
This contributed volume collects papers presented at a special session of the conference Computational and Mathematical Methods in Science and Engineering (CMMSE) held in Cadiz, Spain from June 30 - July 6, 2019. Covering the applications of integral methods to scientific develo…
'Simulation and Similarity' provides an account of modelling and idealization in modern scientific practice, focusing on concrete, mathematical, and computational models. The book has three main themes: the nature of models, the practice of modelling, and nature of the relations…
In the 1950s, John Reber convinced many Californians that the best way to solve the state's water shortage problem was to dam up the San Francisco Bay. Against massive political pressure, Reber's opponents persuaded lawmakers that doing so would lead to disaster. They did this n…
