You will find from this page various explorations of the qualitative and the quantitative in the sciences.  I shall draw particularly on the work of René Thom. [Some vocabulary help is provided for those who need it.]

Be WARNED not to be credulous.

You will find a good deal of EXPOSITION.  But also questions and problems.  Please contribute your own questions or comments, for instance by using the course Bulletin Board (accessible only from within the University of Hong Kong), or sending me an e-mail.
