Model and Mathematics

The workshop aims to take a closer look at the practices of modelling within mathematics and the related natural sciences. How did the concept of »model« and the activity of modelling change between the 19th and the 21st century? How were material, three-dimensional models taken into account? What was their epistemological role? How mathematical modelling was regarded within physics, chemistry and biology? 

The workshop will take place on 26.7.2018 and the program is attached.
