EXUNMA 3: Explanation and understanding with(in) mathematics 3 ;
Online; Friday - March 20, 2026

== Topic
Explanation and understanding are central topics in the philosophy of science. This discipline has made important developments to account for the role explanations play in scientific activities. A current trend is that philosophers emphasize the relation between explanation and understanding, and stress the need for theories of scientific understanding. This events wants to bring together scientists tackling the question of mathematical explanations both: in the sense of explanation within mathematics as well as mathematical explanations in the sciences.
