CfP topical collection of EJPS on "Dimensions of Applied Maths", Deadline: 30 Jun 2020

CFP:  EJPS topical collection: Dimensions of Applied Mathematics

NOTE:  DEADLINE EXTENDED TO 30 JUNE

The European Journal for Philosophy of Science invites submissions for the 
topical collection "Dimensions of Applied Mathematics".

Philosophical interest in the application of mathematics has usually been 
connected to indispensability arguments or Wigner?s famous puzzle of 
?unreasonable effectiveness?. In both cases the success of mathematical 
applications has been taken as a starting point for philosophical 
reflection and, as a result, little attention has been paid to the 
practice of applying mathematics in the course of scientific enquiry. This 
special issue is devoted to exploring the latter, relatively neglected 
topic. The study of applied mathematics as a complex of activities 
integral to scientific enquiry naturally revolves around three distinctive 
themes. First, applications of mathematics respond to specific problems 
within specific research contexts and are thus historically situated. 
Second, the application of mathematics is controlled by the content of 
scientific problems, which may demand the creation of novel formal 
instruments or methods, or novel adaptations of existing ones to the 
purpose at hand. Third, the application of mathematics may be possible and 
useful only under distinctive limitations and restrictions due to the lack 
of a smooth fit between formal resources and empirical problems.

The three themes just listed identify what may be called the historical, 
foundational and practical dimension of applied mathematics respectively. 
We encourage submissions, especially from non-mainstream areas of 
philosophy of science and/or from under-represented groups, discussing any 
of the dimensions of applied mathematics.

The guest editors have invited scholars from diverse fields to submit a 
paper, including: Christian Carman (Universidad Nacional de Quilmes, 
Argentina) ; Mirna D?amonja (Paris 1 and University of East Anglia, UK) ; 
Nicolas Fillion (Simon Fraser University, Canada) ; Julie Jebeile 
(Université Catholique de Louvain, Belgium) ; Gabriele Lolli (Scuola 
Normale Superiore di Pisa, Italy) ; Miles McLeod (University of Twente, 
Netherlands) ; Matthew Parker (LSE, UK) ; Maria Serban (TU Berlin, 
Germany) ; Kate?ina Trlifajová (Charles University, Czech Republic) ; 
Sandra Visokolskis (with Hector Gervan) (Universidad Nacional de Córdoba, 
Argentina).

To submit, upload your manuscript (anonymised for peer review) via the 
journal?s EMS, which will be open for submissions to this collection 
between 1 May and 30 June 2020. Please select the Topical Collection 
Dimensions of Applied Mathematics.
