The Applicability of Mathematics: Beyond Mapping Accounts
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 01 January 2022
Abstract
In this article, I argue that mapping-based accounts of applications cannot be comprehensive and must be supplemented by analyses of other, qualitatively different, forms of application. I support these claims by providing a detailed discussion of the application of mathematics to a problem of election design that is prominent in social choice theory.
