Reality has veto power over all of our models. Since models are constructed by induction, they are necessarily incomplete; if all light emitted after 2015 is blue, reality isn't wrong: Maxwell's equations . If the two disagree, it is the model which is wrong. The map is not the territory and I am not math. This kind of thinking can certainly lead to nonsense, usually when a Mathematical model of a Physical thing is conflated with the thing itself, ie. For me the best I've done was the Introduction to Mathematical Thinking (although I couldn't take part as much as I wanted due to time constraints) regarding student interaction. Yet Cousera is not thinking of you as a customer, or respecting you as one – spend a day or two of our own time fixing OUR problem with THEIR software in order to meet their demand. Mar 24, 2014 - You think you've discovered the condition, but you were wrong. Feb 1, 2013 - I'll review here what went wrong, highlight students' reactions to the problems. Sep 15, 2011 - If this is happening in mathematics, the supposed pinnacle of human reasoning, it seems likely to afflict us in science too, first in physics and later in biology and the social sciences (where we're not even sure what's true, let alone why). It's very common for people to claim that an effect is real, not just chance, whenever the test produces a P value of less than 0.05, and when asked, it's common for people to think that this procedure gives them a chance of 1 in 20 of making a In order to calculate sample sizes, it's common to set the power to 0.8 (obviously 0.99 would be better, but that would often require impracticably large samples).
