I liked your quick description of derivative and integral calculus. I often feel in school we get so caught up in the formulas, algorithms to apply to solve equations, etc. that we forget what the math is actually about!
I find that the atomism that is embedded in much of the scientific community is left unaddressed as Aristotle seems to have addressed it. Much of the misunderstanding too, seems to come from some naturalist presuppositions about being.
Yes! It is, but I don't think a lot of scientists realize it even if they agonize over the failure of atomism to account for the existence of things. Atomic theory is taught in high school and college as if atoms are little building blocks, but in practice chemists know that isn't quite how they work.
