Interesting article showing the relationship between abstract mathematic equations and real world things that impact all of us.
Time = Money
In case you want to send to your ping list.
White privilege in action.
I taught my kids that calculus is totally awesome, because it where one learns to divide by zero.
Bump for relay to my mathematician daughter.....
I take issue with the article including the BlackScholes financial derivatives model along with the others.
Lanchester Equations of Warfare.

Hmmmmm.
E=mc^2
F=ma
E=1/2 mv^2
I could go on but I don’t want to show off. Maxwells equations ought to be in there somewhere. And some thermo stuff. And don’t forget Quantum Mechanics - lots of candidates there. Climate Change will not make the list.
(Plus, I don’t know how to push Greek and Latin characters into Freeperland from my iPad. And, as you can see, I can’t even do superscripts.)
So I leave it to others with more nimble fingers.
I didn’t do too bad....only the final three were ones I have never used.. Fourteen of the seventeen were part of my work...some at the margins , many on a daily basis
I have always thought Maxwell’s equations were brilliant. When I was in college I never understood the Taylor Series Expansion in Einstein’s General Relativity Theory, but I thought I could have come up with Maxwell’s equations on my own back in the day. I thought it was too obscure to show up, but there it was in this article.
Pretty good article.
Amongst other things, I am a mathematician, cryptographer, and physicist.
While I get the math, still can’t really get my head around the Navier-Stokes equation.
Why?
I know zero about the financial derivatives equation. I know lots about the first fourteen. They are indeed revolutionary ideas and did change the world....in oh so many ways
Please explain why you take issue with the authors analysis
Agree. Esp re Maxwell’s equations. Too tired to pull it up, but there is a gif that basically says God spoke those and then there was light.
Less = more
Why not just read the article. It is interestin
I've had this for years, although it's a bit presumptuous in the face of Quantum Field Theory.
That one was in the article and I have to admit I know nothing about it.
