The ideas of effective theories have been implicit in science for a long time, but have only been articulated well in the last few decades. Since Wilson's renormalization group revolution in the early 1970's, the science community has come to more fully understand its power, and by the mid-1990's it had gained its apotheosis. It is still one of the most powerful concepts in science, which has direct impact in how one thinks about and formulates theories of nature. It is this power that this Brief sets out to emphasize through historical analysis and current examples.SpringerBriefs in Physics,2191-5423Mathematical physicsPhysicsPhilosophy and scienceTheoretical, Mathematical and Computational Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P19005History and Philosophical Foundations of Physicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P29000Philosophy of Sciencehttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/E34000Mathematical physics.Physics.Philosophy and science.Theoretical, Mathematical and Computational Physics.History and Philosophical Foundations of Physics.Philosophy of Science.500SCI040000SCI055000SCI075000bisacshWells James D.authttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut842045BOOK9910571784703321Effective Theories in Physics2865422UNINA
