Richard Goodwin tried his best to present a mathematical theory of such a disequilibrium system.
And second, because he is dealing with the underlying mathematical theory of computing, his text is blissfully free of brand-names and buzzwords.
Some years later, Claude Shannon (also of Bell Labs) would consolidate many of the prevailing ideas on the subject in his 1948 paper "A Mathematical Theory of Communication" which would reference the work of Nyquist significantly.
There is no way that anyone could conclude from observational data or mathematical theory, that the 204 billion atom molecular database, the human DNA molecule could come about by any means but intentional , highly technical, design.

Willard Quine's early work was in the field of mathematical logic and set theory, the subject of half a dozen of his 23 books.
In particle physics, sound-bite explanations are much harder: wave-particle duality, quantum mechanics, general relativity and string theory make good mathematical sense, or so I am told, but they generally defy translation into English.
FutureAdvisor says it uses a mathematical optimization algorithm to apply modern portfolio theory principles to each person's portfolio.
In theory, ratings agencies and mathematical models help investors price the risk they are taking on, even if the securities they are buying are scarcely traded.
Current theory can describe the whole universe with 32 mathematical variables.
More cynical experimenters say that the golden age of theory is over, now that the days of freewheeling mathematical carousing are drawing to a close.
Fortunately, exceptional mathematical fluency is required in only a few disciplines, such as particle physics, astrophysics and information theory.
Steven Hillion is vice president of analytics at EMC Greenplum, and has led engineering at firms such as Siebel, KANA and QRS. His educational background includes a major in number theory at the University of California, Berkeley, which got him thinking about moving software engineering closer toward mathematical applications.
