BSDB Spring meeting 2020Jointly with Genetics Societydate: 15-18 March 2020location: Warwickorganisers: Stefan Hoppler (GenSoc), Aziz Aboobaker (GenSoc), Tanya Whitfield (BSDB), Clare Baker (BSDB), Sally Lowell (BSDB)

Detailed experimental methods for Part 1 (length and volume measurements from SPIM) and Part 2 (cross-section diameter and cristae density from TEM), and calculation of mid-piece volume assuming the volume of a truncated cone.

The problems of geometry and mechanics have driven forward the generalization of the concepts of number and function. This shows how application and generalization together prevent that mathematics becomes a mere formalism. Thoughts are signs and signs have meaning within a certain context. Meaning is a function of a term: This function produces a pattern. Algebra or modern axiomatic come to mind, as examples. However, strictly formalistic mathematics did not pay sufficient attention to the fact that modern axiomatic theories require a complementary element, in terms of intended applications or models, not to end up in a merely formal game.
