As an initial entry to my Math and Science blog, I'd like to share with you today an artilce that I wrote back in 1999. Read on. :-)
HOW SCIENCE SERVES MAN
by Prof. Ernesto “Boogie” C. Boydon, M.S.C.S.
July 18, 1999
The insatiable quest for knowledge has always been man’s biggest driving
force that propelled him from a primitive existence to a lifestyle characterized by
convenience and advanced intelligence. And it has always been an inherent
quality borne by man’s natural domination over his surrounding environment.
Science is the formalization of this instinctive quest for knowledge. As noted
scientist Albert Einstein puts it succinctly ”The whole of science is nothing more
than a refinement of everyday thinking.” 1 It presents what would otherwise seem
to be mere accidental discoveries as a disciplined formulation of thought,
hypothesis, investigation, analysis and conclusion. It performs “observation,
identification, description, experimental investigation, and theoretical explanation
of phenomena.”
