2 Mathematics and Nature People who wish to analyze Nature without using Mathematics must settle for a reduced understanding Richard P. Feynman ( ) Alfio Quarteroni 2 EPFL and POLIMI

3 Galileo Galilei, GEOMETRIC PRE- PROCSSING MODEL VALIDATION OUTCOME

4 The Book of Nature (Il Saggiatore, 1623) In 1623 Galileo crafted a famous metaphor (which he used to defend the work of scientists from religious authorities): GEOMETRIC PRE- PROCSSING Nature, he wrote, is a book written in "the language of mathematics". If we cannot understand that language, we will be doomed to wander about as if "in a dark labyrinth". MODEL VALIDATION It captures our sense that nature's truths are somehow imposed on us that they are already imprinted in the world and underlines the key role played by mathematics in expressing those truths. OUTCOME
