Exact Thinking Workshop II, March 21-23, 2025

The symposium is a continuation of the workshop of the same name, which took place in spring 2024. The event was dedicated to a broad range of participants, open to presenting their own reflections and research, taking into account the diverse specializations of the audience. Particular emphasis was placed on the complexity of systems and issues at the intersection of the humanities and mathematics, with reference to modeling phenomena in the natural and social sciences.

The meeting was chaired by Stanisław Janeczko (CSZ), Marek Kuś (CBRS), Barbara Roszkowska-Lech (MiNI), Marek Trippenbach (CBRS), Jacek Rogala (CBRS), Barbara Roszkowska-Lech (MiNI), Sebastian Szymański (CBRS), Marek Trippenbach (CBRS), and Paweł Rzążewski (MiNI). In total, symposium participants listened to 34 lectures and engaged in numerous discussions. Among the invited guests were scientists from the University of Warsaw, Warsaw University of Technology, and participants of the iD Studies program at Warsaw University of Technology.

The idea behind the "Workshop on Exact Thinking II" was conceptualized as follows: The successes of modern science were not achieved through common knowledge and practical experience, which for almost two thousand years, from the inception of Greek science and its destruction by the Romans in the mid-second century BC until the seventeenth century, stifled the role of mathematical abstraction and the transcendence of free thought. The mathematical aspect of reality is undoubtedly the pillar of scientific knowledge. Mathematics is the language of physics, but not only that. It serves to understand the world in all its manifestations and at all levels of its organization. Every mathematical structure created by the mind, if not found at a given stage of cognition, inspires new associations and representations in previously unexplored areas of experience. The significance of the mutual, creative interaction of all fields of science is seen in the rapid development of computational methods in complex problems involving large amounts of data, their redundancy, dynamics, and numerous practical applications. Understanding the world is determined, to a large extent, by the functioning of the thinking organ. The good condition of this organ, especially in people of science, requires constant development and practice of exact thinking based on the mathematical pre-logic of our language.
