Topic of Research Seminar: On the Unreasonable Effectiveness of Mathematics

Abstract: Mathematics is effective but its unreasonable effectiveness lies in its deep philosophical nature. When mathematics was developing, the developers themselves did not think that it would be used in such a way that we are using it now. We need to see things from their point of origin, from the original source, so that we can get a better idea and understand its evolution historically. This seminar is designed to elaborate these ideas by considering few examples.
