The different chapters cover a variety of\nissues, such as the role models play in scientific practice; the way science\nshapes our concept of models; ways of modeling the pursuit of scientific\nknowledge; the relationship between our concept of models and our concept of\nscience. The book also discusses models and scientific explanations; models in\nthe semantic view of theories; the applicability of mathematical models to the\nreal world and their effectiveness; the links between models and inferences;\nand models as a means for acquiring new knowledge. It analyzes different\nexamples of models in physics, biology, mathematics and engineering. Written\nfor researchers and graduate students, it provides a cross-disciplinary\nreference guide to the notion and the use of models and inferences in science.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2016-02-08\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783319281629\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-319-28163-6\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 253\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer International Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45583632531596,"sku":"9783319281629","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783319281629.jpg?v=1775786972","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783319281629","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
