Download or read book The Pythagorean World written by Jane McDonnell and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-11-17 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores precisely how mathematics allows us to model and predict the behaviour of physical systems, to an amazing degree of accuracy. One of the oldest explanations for this is that, in some profound way, the structure of the world is mathematical. The ancient Pythagoreans stated that “everything is number”. However, while exploring the Pythagorean method, this book chooses to add a second principle of the universe: the mind. This work defends the proposition that mind and mathematical structure are the grounds of reality.
