Mathematics: An Experimental Science Herbert S. Wilf University of Pennsylvania Philadelphia, PA 19104-6395, USA 1 The mathematician’s telescope Albert Einstein once said “You can confirm a the-ory with experiment, but no path leads from exper-iment to theory.” But that was before computers. In mathematical research now, there’s a very ...

impetus for the production of the present 700 Science Experiments for Everyone. Believing that science and the scientific method of problem solving should play a significant role in any modern educational scheme, Unesco offers this book in the hope that it will assist science teachers everywhere in their important work.
- Anomaly: An anomaly is an observation that differs from expectation or from accepted scientific views. Anomalies lead scientists to revise a hypothesis or theory.
- Central Limit Theorem: The central limit theorem states that with a sufficiently large sample, the sample mean will be normally distributed. A normally distributed sample mean is necessary to apply the t test, so if you are planning to perform a statistical analysis of experimental data, it’s important to have a big sample.
- Conclusion: The conclusion is your determination of whether the hypothesis should be accepted or rejected. It is one of the steps of the scientific method.
- Control Group: The control group is the set of test subjects randomly assigned to not receive the experimental treatment. In other words, the independent variable is held constant for this group.
cation. The new guidelines include an emphasis on helping students develop (1) familiarity with a discipline’s concepts, theories, and models; (2) an understanding of how knowledge is generated and justified; and (3) an ability to use these understandings to engage in new inquiry. 1 At first glance, the traditional science instruction described above appears to fit these guidelines quite well.
Mathematics is an intrinsic component of science, part of its fabric, its universal language and indispensable source of intellectual tools. Reciprocally, science inspires and stimulates mathematics, posing new questions, engendering new ways of thinking, and ultimately conditioning the value system of mathematics.
