数学:科学统一的纽带

美国科学基金会(National Science Foundation)为了增进公众对科学技术的了解,从1985年起开展“全美科学周”(National Science Week)活动,1986年的科学周是5月11～17日。为了配合这次活动,美国国家研究委员会(National Research Council)所属数学科学部于1986年5月12日在国家科学院召开了题名《数学:科学统一的纽带》(Mathematics: The Unifying Thread in Science)的专题会。会议的目的是强调数学与其它科学的相互联系。会议由著名数学家辛格(Isadore M.Singer)主持,邀请了三位诺贝尔奖获得者到会讲演,他们是科马克(A.M.Cormack,获1979年诺贝尔医学奖)、霍普特曼(H.A.Hauptman,获1985年诺贝尔化学奖)和温伯格(S.Weinberg,获1979年诺贝尔物理奖)。讲演者们用通俗的语言具体介绍了如何把数学巧妙地用于他们的获奖工作中,并且讨论了数学和物理的“不可思议的”联系。讲演者们还回答了听众提出的一系列涉及数学教育、公众对数学的态度、政府对数学的政策以及数学和其它科学的关系等有趣的问题。会议的详细记录见1986年第5期的Notice杂志(p.716～733)。这里选译了其中主要内容,以飨读者。
