dc.description.abstract<p>In this article the pressure-volume law is reviewed from the point of view of its historical emergence from 1644-1662 and its application in the science classroom. It is contended that mathematical laws in science have value as rich conceptual tools in addition to their role in computation. A classification scheme for algebraic mathematical expressions, based on their historical context, is proposed as a means of assigning significance to the mathematical expressions commonly used in science. © 1995 Kluwer Academic Publishers.</p>
