Details

"Converging Realities" by Roland Omnès is a mathematics book and learning resource focused on Core Mathematics. Best for teachers, students, and readers looking for stronger mathematical understanding.

Roland Omnes has a knack for writing in at least three of the world's major languages: English, French, and Science. I have at times found a lifetime's worth of insight in a single paragraph of his. The present work is no exception. For though I disagreed with whole swaths of the book, I learned much from it and had to fight every inch of the way to shore up my position against its onslaught. No discussion of reality should ignore this powerful and novel exposition."--Christopher A. Fuchs, Bell Labs, Lucent Technologies

"To explain the seemingly miraculous effectiveness of mathematics in the natural sciences, Omnès valiantly undertakes to show that mathematical structures are a distillate of the laws of nature. On his way to this goal, he gives a concise, yet highly readable and surprisingly illuminating overview of the main ideas of quantum mechanics."--Roberto Torretti, Professor Emeritus, University of Puerto Rico
