Mathematical Descriptions<br />
• Mathematical descriptions of properties are available.<br />
• Mathematics, or a type of mathematics provides a<br />
quantitative framework. It is always necessary,<br />
however, to make a correspondence between<br />
mathematical variables <strong>and</strong> physical quantities.<br />
• In group theory one might say that there is a set of<br />
mathematical operations & parameters, <strong>and</strong> a set of<br />
physical quantities <strong>and</strong> processes: if the mathematics<br />
is a good description, then the two sets are<br />
isomorphous.
