Data on Science Described by a Researcher at University of Oxford (Towards an ecological mathematics).

A new report from the University of Oxford discusses the role of mathematics in ecological research. The researcher argues that mathematics has been separate from advances in the environmental social sciences and humanities, and proposes the concept of "ecological mathematics" which emphasizes relationships, embodiment, and human difference. The paper explores the historical emergence of mathematics in ecology and cultural factors shaping mathematical thought. The researcher suggests employing mathematical techniques that enliven ecological studies rather than deaden them, and concludes with philosophical clarifications to the approach of ecological mathematics.
