| Title | The Quantum-Like Revolution : A Festschrift for Andrei Khrennikov |
| Author(s) | Plotnitsky, Arkady;Haven, Emmanuel |
| Publication | Cham, 1. Imprint: Springer
2. Springer International Publishing, 2023. |
| Description | XV, 383 p. 36 illus., 6 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | Over the last ten years, elements of the formalism of quantum mechanics have been successfully applied beyond physics in areas such as psychology (especially cognition), economics and finance (especially in the formalization of so-called ???decision making???), political science, and molecular biology. An important stream of work along these lines, commonly under the heading of quantum-like modeling, has been published in well regarded scientific journals, and major publishers have devoted entire books to the topic. This Festschrift honors a key figure in this field of research: Andrei Khrennikov, who made momentous contributions to it and to quantum foundations themselves. While honoring these contributions, and in order to do so, this Festschrift orients its reader toward the future rather than focusing on the past: it addresses future challenges and establishes the way forward in both domains, quantum-like modeling and quantum foundations. A while ago, in response to the developments of using the quantum formalism outside of quantum mechanics, the eminent quantum physicist Anton Zeilinger said, ???Why should it be precisely the quantum mechanics formalism? Maybe its generalization would be more adequate?????? This volume responds to this statement by both showing the reasons for the continuing importance of quantum formalism and yet also considering pathways to such generalizations. Khrennikov???s work has been indispensable in establishing the great promise of quantum and quantum-like thinking in shaping the future of scientific research across the disciplines |

| Title | The Mathematical Representation of Physical Reality |
| Author(s) | Hacyan, Shahen |
| Publication | Cham, 1. Imprint: Springer
2. Springer Nature Switzerland, 2023. |
| Description | XIII, 155 p. 2 illus : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This book deals with the rise of mathematics in physical sciences, beginning with Galileo and Newton and extending to the present day. The book is divided into two parts. The first part gives a brief history of how mathematics was introduced into physics???despite its "unreasonable effectiveness" as famously pointed out by a distinguished physicist???and the criticisms it received from earlier thinkers. The second part takes a more philosophical approach and is intended to shed some light on that mysterious effectiveness. For this purpose, the author reviews the debate between classical philosophers on the existence of innate ideas that allow us to understand the world and also the philosophically based arguments for and against the use of mathematics in physical sciences. In this context, Schopenhauer???s conceptions of causality and matter are very pertinent, and their validity is revisited in light of modern physics. The final question addressed is whether the effectiveness of mathematicscan be explained by its ???existence??? in an independent platonic realm, as G??del believed. The book aims at readers interested in the history and philosophy of physics. It is accessible to those with only a very basic (not professional) knowledge of physics |

| Title | The Mathematical Universe : From Pythagoras to Planck |
| Author(s) | Schiff, Joel L |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2020. |
| Description | XVIII, 303 p. 123 illus., 61 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | This is a book about the mathematical nature of our Universe. Armed with no more than basic high school mathematics, Dr. Joel L. Schiff takes you on a foray through some of the most intriguing aspects of the world around us. Along the way, you will visit the bizarre world of subatomic particles, honey bees and ants, galaxies, black holes, infinity, and more. Included are such goodies as measuring the speed of light with your microwave oven, determining the size of the Earth with a stick in the ground and the age of the Solar System from meteorites, understanding how the Theory of Relativity makes your everyday GPS system possible, and so much more. These topics are easily accessible to anyone who has ever brushed up against the Pythagorean Theorem and the symbol ??, with the lightest dusting of algebra. Through this book, science-curious readers will come to appreciate the patterns, seeming contradictions, and extraordinary mathematical beauty of our Universe |

| Title | Category Theory in Physics, Mathematics, and Philosophy |
| Author(s) | Ku??, Marek;Skowron, Bart??omiej |
| Publication | Cham, Springer International Publishing, 2019. |
| Description | XII, 134 p. 3 illus., 1 illus. in color : online resource |
| Abstract Note | The contributions gathered here demonstrate how categorical ontology can provide a basis for linking three important basic sciences: mathematics, physics, and philosophy. Category theory is a new formal ontology that shifts the main focus from objects to processes. The book approaches formal ontology in the original sense put forward by the philosopher Edmund Husserl, namely as a science that deals with entities that can be exemplified in all spheres and domains of reality. It is a dynamic, processual, and non-substantial ontology in which all entities can be treated as transformations, and in which objects are merely the sources and aims of these transformations. Thus, in a rather surprising way, when employed as a formal ontology, category theory can unite seemingly disparate disciplines in contemporary science and the humanities, such as physics, mathematics and philosophy, but also computer and complex systems science |
