Models and Inferences in Science
BücherAngebote / Angebote:
The book answers long-standing questions on scientific modeling and
inference across multiple perspectives and disciplines, including logic,
mathematics, physics and medicine. The different chapters cover a variety of
issues, such as the role models play in scientific practice, the way science
shapes our concept of models, ways of modeling the pursuit of scientific
knowledge, the relationship between our concept of models and our concept of
science. The book also discusses models and scientific explanations, models in
the semantic view of theories, the applicability of mathematical models to the
real world and their effectiveness, the links between models and inferences,
and models as a means for acquiring new knowledge. It analyzes different
examples of models in physics, biology, mathematics and engineering. Written
for researchers and graduate students, it provides a cross-disciplinary
reference guide to the notion and the use of models and inferences in science.
