More about the book
The book offers a unique interpretation of the revolution that established modern science, focusing on Newton's innovative relationship between abstract mathematics and physical observation. It highlights how Newton's methodology involved constructing a mathematical system that mirrored the physical world, which was then refined through experimentation. Professor Cohen further examines the nature of scientific creativity, proposing that scientific change occurs through transformations of existing ideas, a concept applicable to various scientific disciplines.
