Revisiting the Pressure-Volume Law in History--What Can It Teach Us About the Emergence of Mathematical Relationships in Science?
De Berg, Kevin C.
Science and Education, v4 n1 p47-64 Jan 1995
Reviews the pressure-volume law from the point of view of its historical emergence from 1644-1662 and its application in the science classroom. Proposes a classification scheme for algebraic mathematical expressions based on their historical context as a means of assigning significance to the mathematical expressions commonly used in science.
